Who should attend?
The Foundational Crop Scout training series is designed for entry-level crop scouts with limited or no scouting experience and anyone looking for a refresher course in basic scouting skills. We invite anyone looking for basic scout skills along with those working for crop consultants, industry agronomists, or ag service providers throughout Wisconsin to join us for this hybrid training opportunity.
