Growing Successful Work Teams

Remote

Identify your communication and management preferences and practical ways to use them to build and retain a successful and productive crew. In this two-part workshop, we will use the DiSC Workplace Profile to help you identify your unique communication and management preferences and explore ways that your preferences affect your strengths and stressors related to managing labor. The DiSC model provides a common language people can use to better understand themselves and those they interact with. We can use this knowledge to reduce conflict and improve working relationships.

UMass Research Farm Tour and Vegetable Twilight Meeting

UMass Crop & Animal Research Center 89-91 North River Rd., South Deerfield

Join UMass Extension for a research tour and grower twilight meeting! In the afternoon, we’ll tour the UMass Research Farm and hear about the graduate student and Extension research underway on the farm. Students and faculty are encouraged to come to learn about applied research and the research farm. In the evening, we’ll have talks targeted more to commercial vegetable growers. A representative from Toro will discuss the automated irrigation system set up at the research farm, and the Extension Vegetable Program will discuss their applied research trials in more detail.
Join us for both parts or just one! A light supper will follow the twilight meeting
