News Release

July 14, 2020 - The American Society of Agronomy will host the 3-day Sustainable Agronomy Conference virtually August 18-20.

The 2020 conference will have a multi-geographical and multi-crop focus to provide actionable education in sustainable agronomy. Certified Crop Advisers (CCA), agronomists, and agricultural-sales professionals will gain science-based solutions to implement into grower operations for long-term success. The program will consist of live-presentations, interactive panel discussions, and pre-recorded sessions. A diverse and dynamic group of experts will speak on the drivers, economics, agronomics, environmental benefits, and implementation techniques of sustainable crop production.

Certified Crop Advisers can earn up to 12 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during the full 3 days of sessions. Additional CEUs can be earned by viewing the student competition.

Along with an enhanced, dynamic program, the Sustainable Agronomy Conference has added several new features as a part of the shift to virtual:

• Virtual Exhibit Hall – Connect with any of our 14 sponsors
• Student Competition – Support the next generation of Certified Crop Advisers
• Professional engagement and participation prizes
• Post-conference access to session recordings

As an early incentive, Nutrien Premium Fertilizer Technologies is providing a $50 discount for the first 200 3-day registrations. All registered attendees can participate in the sessions live and can take advantage of extended access to the recordings after the conference closing.
