Event Description

The annual Ontario field crop diagnostic days held at Ridgetown, Elora and Winchester have been a huge success because of the commitment from participants, sponsors, speakers and volunteers. COVID-19 has created many unique challenges and the safety of all those involved is of utmost concern. Although the summer in-field Ridgetown, Elora and Winchester events have been cancelled, the organizing committees have decided to combine SWCDD, Elora Crop Diagnostic Day and Eastern Ontario Crop Diagnostic Day (Winchester) into a new provincial diagnostic video series with support from RealAgriculture and our sponsors.

This Ontario Virtual Diagnostic Days Series will consist of a 1-hour episode every two weeks through October 21, 2020. Each episode will highlight a general field crop agronomic theme and will be available here on RealAgriculture and fieldcropnews.com. Plus, all episodes will be available in our main podcast feed.

Continuing Education Credits
Historically, these in-person diagnostic days have provided some of the best opportunities for Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) to acquire a broad range of Continuing Education Credits (CEU).

REGISTER FOR CEU CREDITS
Certified Crop Advisors will be able to collect 8 CEU by registering for the event. Registration is a requirement so we can process CEU credit requests. A CEU code will be provided at end of each episode.

Registration Fees for CEU Credits:

$100 (includes HST) for 8 CEU credits. A receipt/confirmation email will be provided
