Many Field Days Moving Online or Delayed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 University of Tennessee AgResearch is releasing an updated field day schedule for 2020. In light of COVID-19 concerns and efforts to continue social distancing, all field days scheduled for June or July will be delayed, canceled or moved to a virtual format. Additionally, some field days after July will be delayed or offered online only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile\nit is unfortunate that many of our Research and Education Centers will have to\ndelay or forego their traditional onsite field days, the health and safety of\nour employees and visitors is our top priority,\u201d says Barry Sims, executive\ndirector of UT AgResearch and Education Centers. \u201cHowever, we are still\ncommitted to sharing research and providing educational opportunities in 2020.\nThe change in date or format will help us accomplish this while still\nmaintaining our focus on health and safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The updated schedule is posted below. More changes may be forthcoming. For the most up-to-date information on UT AgResearch field days, go to agresearch.tennessee.edu.<\/a>
