Small grain summer plot tour - Humboldt

The small grain summer plot tours provide farmers and crop consultants with the tools to make small grain production successful and profitable. This summer, Extension will hold programs across the state about managing wheat, barley, rye, triticale, and oats. Farmers will get to see up to 180 varieties in the field, learn with hands-on demonstrations, and ask questions with UMN experts.

Pests such as cereal leaf beetle, Fusarium head blight, and weather impacts will be emphasized for the meeting. Crop variety selection and other production concerns such as herbicide carryover will also be highlighted during each of the tours. Participants are highly encouraged to bring any field samples for diagnosis and/or conversation.
