Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Virginia Small Grains Field Day will take place virtually this year.

The field day was originally set for May 21 at the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Warsaw.

The presentations will be pre-recorded over the next few weeks and will be broadcast broadcast on Zoom and Facebook Live on May 21 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time with a Q&A with the speakers after the video. The presentations will be archived on YouTube afterward so they can be viewed on-demand.
