Registration is now open for the regional Crop and Pest Management Updates put on by the Michigan State University Extension field crops team each year. Participants will get to hear Michigan State University (MSU) specialists present about the latest recommendations for managing weeds, disease, soil fertility and more and will receive a copy of the updated MSU bulletin “2025 Weed Control Guide for Field Crops.” The topics for each meeting will vary depending on the priorities for each region. Detailed agendas for all programs will be available online or by calling the host Extension office.

The cost of the weed guides will be covered thanks to the generous support of the Michigan Soybean Committee, Corn Marketing Program of Michigan and Michigan Wheat Program, so attendees will only need to pay $40 for the meeting costs, which include a light breakfast and lunch.

Pre-registration is requested to ensure an accurate count for meals and materials. Please register at least one week before the event you plan to attend by visiting the registration website or by calling the host Extension office.
