Purdue Extension to host Grow Your Farm Fridays

Next-generation farmers and business partners are encouraged to join Purdue Extension this winter for a six-session series called Grow Your Farm Fridays.

The series will be delivered in person at five locations around the state on Fridays from 9-11:30 a.m. beginning on Jan. 21 and ending Feb. 25.

Grow Your Farm Fridays is a series dedicated to developing key skills in tomorrow’s farm managers. The six sessions will include programs on strategic thinking, farm diversification, marketing, carbon credits, sustainability, legal advice, pesticide licensing, corn and soybean production and more.

Locally, Grow Your Farm Fridays will be hosted at the Purdue Extension–Putnam County office, 152 E. Columbia St., Greencastle. A virtual option to attend the program series will also be available.

Continuing education credits are available at select programs for private applicators (PARP), certified crop advisors (CEUs) and commercial applicators (CCHs).
