Prominent national and international speakers will be on hand to discuss: horticultural practices, pest and disease control, harvest and post-harvest practices, nutrient management, and much more. There will also be a brewer/grower networking session that focuses on hop and malt barley quality. The session will provide growers with a better idea of quality requirements and help align the supply of Michigan grown hops and malt barley with brewer needs. Dozens of vendors will be on hand to discuss the latest and greatest opportunities available for growers to improve production practices and enhance efficiency of their operations.

Please continue to visit the MSU Great Lakes Hop and Barley Page, Michigan State University Extension’s hop webpage, or the MSU Hops News Facebook site for up to date information.
