From muscadines to hydroponic greens, Mississippi State University is offering growers and agricultural professionals two upcoming opportunities to learn about specialty crops and innovative farming methods. Hydroponic farming workshop A limited number of people with an interest in hydroponic farming are invited to a free workshop Oct. 13 hosted by Mississippi State University in Crystal Springs. Registration will be open to the public July 31 with just seven spots available for the workshop, although those added to a waiting list may have an opportunity to join the workshop. There is no charge to attend, and participants will receive lunch and take home fresh, live hydroponic harvests of leafy greens and microgreens. Qianwen “Megan” Zhang, MSU Extension horticulturist and Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station researcher, said the workshop is designed for those professionals who support hydroponic farmers and those in the business or seeking to get into hydroponic farming. “This workshop is designed as a practical, hands-on workshop exploring real hydroponic systems, including deep water culture, the nutrient film technique, Dutch buckets, vertical towers and indoor vertical farming,” Zhang said. The event begins with registration at 9:30 a.m. Sessions start at 10, and the event will conclude at 3 p.m. Participants will have the chance to win a benchtop hydroponic system and hydroponic supplies as a door prize.

The Truck Crops Branch Experiment Station, part of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is located at 2024 Experiment Station Road in Crystal Springs. The event is sponsored by MSU Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program. Muscadine field day Muscadine producers can learn more about growing the specialty crop during an upcoming field day. The 2026 Muscadine Field Day will be held Aug. 27 at the Mississippi State University McNeill Research Unit in Carriere, located at 7 Ben Gill Road, across from Jack’s Fish House. The field day begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration. The program begins at 9, and ends at 11. The event is co-hosted by the MSU Extension Service, the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. Speakers from all three units will discuss muscadines. Topics include new leafhopper pests, selecting muscadine cultivars for success and insect and disease management. The Vitis x Muscadinia, or VxM, research project, will also be discussed. MSU is one of 13 universities across the U.S. that have partnered for the project, which is focused on developing a hybrid grape for quality and disease resistance. Attendees will also be able to explore passion fruit, learn about pesticide modes of action, learn about transitioning to an organic program, view winemaking equipment and explore the vineyard and taste the fruit. The field day is free and open to commercial and hobby producers. All registration is on-site. Attendees are encouraged to bring water and chairs. MSU is an equal opportunity institution.
