Graves-Chapple Extension and Education Center Field Day

Agricultural producers are invited to save the dates for upcoming events across the state in which extension specialists and researchers from the University of Missouri share the latest findings, highlight best practices and address local emerging issues.

From August through October, these events offer opportunities to see research in action and connect with extension specialists. Field day organizers say these events help bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application by bringing applied research directly to producers and communities.

Events are hosted at Extension and Education Centers, managed by MU Extension, and at Research, Extension and Education Centers, which are administered by the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. Together, these locations showcase research and educational resources that support Missouri agriculture.

In addition, some of the centers will invite local high school students to career exploration/youth ag days in the fall to showcase agricultural careers and research.

• Tuesday, August 25 (7:30 a.m.): Field day at Graves-Chapple Extension and Education Center, Rock Port.
