Oregon State University Hosting Several Field Days In Early June

The month of June means field days across Oregon.

It starts this Friday, the 5th, at the Organic Winter Grains Field Day, taking place at Oregon State University’s Lewis-Brown Hort Farm in Corvallis.  Growers will have an opportunity to learn about the latest research on: 

• Naked barley, wheat, cereal rye, and triticale
• Fava bean variety trial 
• Disease and weed management in organic systems, end-use quality, and transitioning to organic 

Then next week, Northeast Oregon takes center stage, with the Hermiston Field Day Monday June 8th, with a focus on cereal crop production, including field trials and current research.

The next day, Tuesday June 9th, the Pendleton Field Day will take place, an opportunity for dryland wheat growers to learn first-hand about the research taking place at OSU, as well as have one-on-one discussions with scientists and research.

The on Wednesday, June 10th the Sherman Station Field Day will take place in North Central Oregon.  In addition the trials and research, this year's field day will immediately be followed by the Oregon Wheat Grower's League 100th anniversary event.
