Abstract
Despite external influences such as societal restrictions imposed during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, farmerscontinue to work, and needs for outreach and education have not waned. Extension professionals must continueto support these needs by using media and channels not typically employed when more traditional vehicles, suchas on-site consultations and field days, are not practical or safe. The Iowa Learning Farms team from Iowa StateUniversity Outreach and Extension has developed a successful Virtual Field Day program using available onlinetools that can be easily adopted by other Extension organizations to facilitate outreach.
