Agronomic management considerations for growing a relatively new perennial grain crop: Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG).
Korede works collaboratively with team members, farmers and agriculture and conservation organizations to design and deliver educational programming on conservation agriculture practices in southeast Michigan. In graduate school, his research focused on agronomic management practices for the perennial Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) as a dual-use grain and forage crop.
The 2026 MI Ag Ideas to Grow With conference was held virtually, February 23 - March 5, 2026. The program encompassed many aspects of the agricultural industry and offered a full array of educational sessions for farmers and homeowners interested in food production and other agricultural endeavors.
