URBANA -- “It’s not too early to start planning for next season’s crops,” said University of Illinois Extension local food systems and small farms educator Chris Konieczka.

Using transplants is an effective way to produce quality crop plants early in the season, standardize germination, and compete with weeds. Join Konieczka and Dixon Springs Agricultural Research Center horticulture specialist Jeff Kindhart for an informative webinar on successful transplant production.
