A free webinar entitled, “Dealing with the Changing Climate in Agriculture: Issues in 2020 and Beyond” will be held Thursday, Feb. 20 from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.
The program will discuss issues leading into the 2020 growing season and put that information into a larger context of what is happening with Midwest weather and climate long-term.
“Those who participate in the webinar will have an understanding of the current climate and/or weather issues and discover where to find resources to help with decision-making,” said Fred Hall, dairy specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “We are excited to have Dennis Todey, Director of the Midwest Climate Hub, leading the discussion.”
Todey is a native Iowan who holds a Bachelor of Science and doctorate in Meteorology and Agricultural Meteorology from Iowa State University, and his master’s degree from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. He is well-known across the region as a speaker and media source on various climate issues and is the former president of the American Association of State Climatologists.
The webinar is free and open to the public thanks to sponsorship and coordination from the I-29 Moo University which is a consortium of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, University of Minnesota Extension, Nebraska Extension, North Dakota State University Extension Service and South Dakota State University Extension dairy specialists.
