As both a contributor and user of the Crop Protection Network, I’ve found it to be a valuable resource that helps ensure both I and my Missouri clientele can stay easily up-to-date with the latest pest management information. Easy-to-read graphics, videos, social media posts and tools developed through the network can inform farmers’ crop protection decisions and guide future research.

The importance of getting science-based information out to growers on current and relevant agronomic issues is important in helping everyone make the best decisions and recommendations for the farm. Knowing that experts from universities across the U.S. contribute their knowledge and expertise to the articles and publications on the website gives me the confidence I need to take that information and discuss the topic with others. Every time I visit the CPN website I know that I am getting to most up-to-date information.
