Coming soon: 40-plus virtual Gwynne talks
CFAES’ annual Farm Science Review trade show always considers the natural resources side of things, too: through talks, tours, and demonstrations at the nearly 70-acre Gwynne Conservation Area. And since this year’s Farm Science Review, set for Sept. 22–24, is being held 100% online because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Gwynne’s activities will be virtual as well.
