UT announces 2021 Field Days
In expectation of a return to normal life, University of Tennessee AgResearch is planning a full calendar of educational field days for 2021. The majority of the 19 events are scheduled to occur on site at the UT AgResearch and Education Centers. Social distancing and other arrangements are in place to ensure a safe environment for attendees.
The field days will take place at locations across the state, which will provide visitors a chance to see agricultural research in action, speak with university experts, and network with industry professionals.
Because Tennessee agriculture is 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. 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.
