Selecting Heat Tolerant Crops and Seed Varieties
November 20, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
FreeThis webinar will provide farmers and technical service providers with guidance on the selection of heat tolerant crop varieties and crop planting schedules adapted to changing climate trends and increased temperatures. Crops adapted to warmer and wetter temperatures can reduce the risks associated with extreme weather events. Join CISA and Sue Scheufele from UMass Extension and Emma Golonka of Johnny’s Seeds who will share new insights into heat tolerant crop varieties and strategies for incorporating climate considerations into seed selection.
This event is part of CISA’s annual Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change series, which explores the impacts of extreme heat on various aspects of our food system, including soils, weeds and pests, farmworker health and safety, heat tolerant crops, urban farms, and more.
