UNDERSTANDING AND GETTING THE
MOST FROM YOUR SMALL GRAIN ACRES
We have designed these four field days to be
interactive and discussion based learning
environments focused on all aspects of small
grain production both present and future.
These sites are designed for data collection

Our presenters will explain current growing
season information with insight to crop
management inputs through harvest as well as
leading discussions on topics introduced by
attendees.
