WSU Organic Grain Field Day Rescheduled to June 20

PULLMAN, Wash. — Delayed planting has forced a postponement of Washington State University’s Organic Dryland Grain Crop Field Day.

The event, originally scheduled for June 7, has been rescheduled for June 20 at the Les and Pat Boyd farm located just north of the Moscow- Pullman Airport.

Among other topics, researchers will talk about how to make the transition to organic, use of goats to control weeds, winter legumes as a cover crop and conservation of beneficial insects along farm margins.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. The field day will conclude about noon. The farm is located at 3801 Airport Road.

Contact Dennis Pittmann or Amanda Snyder at (509) 335-7484 for further information. They can be reached by e-mail at pittman@wsu.edu or akoss@wsu.edu.

The event is free and open to the public.
