UT Announces 2021 field days
Jan 11, 2021
In expectation of a return to normality, University of Tennessee AgResearch is planning a full calendar of educational field days for 2021. The majority of the 19 events are currently scheduled to occur on site at UT AgResearch and Education Centers, with social distancing and other arrangements in place to ensure a safe environment for attendees.
The field days will take place at locations across the state, providing visitors a chance to see agricultural research in action, speak with university experts and network with industry professionals.
Because Tennessee agriculture is varied and extremely diverse, the topics covered by the UT AgResearch field days range from cattle and row crop production to maintenance of turf grasses, ornamental plants, fruit and vegetable crops and forestry. All field days are open to the public, and most are free to attend.
The complete AgResearch field day schedule begins in March and continues through October, as listed below. Please note, some dates and venues differ from the traditional past events. More detailed information about each event will be available closer to the field days scheduled time. Check in at agresearch.tennessee.edu/field-days to learn more.
