It’s been our tradition (which is kind of ironic) to try something new every year at Corn College. In 2013, Farm Journal is offering a brand-new event, Corn College Grad School.  By farmer request, this event will not be hosted in conjunction with any sponsors, so more time will be spent in the classroom and in the field. 

This event is limited to only 100 farmers, which will provide for more hands-on opportunities. Also, by the nature of the event, it’ll be a more intense learning environment. We are asking that farmers who have previously attended a Corn College event register for Grad School—this event will build on what you’ve already learned about the Systems Approach.
