Join Michigan State University Extension and the Michigan Wheat Program for a regional wheat field day in Gratiot County. Specialists will discuss current pest and disease pressures, variety selection and other seasonal considerations. These regional field days are designed to be a little more informal for a shorter time, and with a smaller group, allowing more one-on-one interaction with Dennis Pennington, Michigan State University (MSU) Extension wheat specialist. These will be held in the field at our state wheat variety trials. This allows the opportunity to walk a local variety trial and talk with those who are managing it. Updates on current research projects in wheat will be discussed.
If you have any poor-looking wheat, please feel free to bring in a sample with you and Pennington will help you determine what the issue is.
This meeting has been approved for one restricted use pesticide (RUP) credit in Private Core or 1A. Two certified crop adviser (CCA) credits have been requested.
No registration is required. We will have light refreshments courtesy of the Michigan Wheat Program.
