2022 Wheat Field Days set for several dates in June

Colorado State University Crops Testing recently announced details for the 2022 Wheat Field Days. These days are made possible by farmer-cooperators, seed company and industry partners and colleagues from the CSU College of Agriculture and Agriculture Experiment Station, CSU Extension, Colorado Wheat and the United States Department of Agriculture-ARS.

CSU has a set of public and private wheat varieties to show off in field trials and characteristics of these varieties will be shared at each field day. CSU faculty and experts will share the latest information and research relating to various aspects of wheat such as breeding, variety trials, entomology, pathology, seed programs, soil fertility and forage use. Industry representatives will provide wheat market updates and seed company representatives will share information about their varieties.

Field days will be held on Thursday, June 9 in Walsh, Lamar and Brandon; June 10 in Burlington and Genoa; June 13 in Orchard, Wiggins and Roggen; and June 14 in Julesburg, Yuma and Akron. The flyer with the full schedule and directions can be found at csucrops.com.
