Please join us for the 2023 Southwest Crop Diagnostic Days July 5th and 6th, 2023 in Ridgetown (UGRC).  Our success the past 30 years would not be possible without the great support from participants, sponsors, speakers and all the volunteers involved! The 2023 Southwest Crop Diagnostic Days will certainly be an event you will not want to miss!

The 2023 Southwest Crop Diagnostic Days will consist of eight 30-minute sessions (stops) repeated each day.  Each session will consist of a general field crop agronomic theme with various topics which are current and relevant to farmers, crop consultants, retailers basically anyone involved in agriculture!

Space is limited. We will not be taking door registrations so PRE-REGISTER BY JUNE 28, 2023 to secure your spot! Please note ALL ACTIVITIES ARE OUTDOORS so come prepared and enjoy.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU)

Historically, the Southwest Crops Diagnostic Days have provided some of the best opportunities for Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) to acquire a broad range of Continuing Education Units (CEU).
