WAWG
The 2016 crop tour season will be starting at the end of this month. The tours give growers the opportunity to view field trials and interact with Washington State University (WSU) personnel and others about cereal varieties and crop management practices. Cereal breeders, extension agronomists, plant pathologists and other scientists will be presenting information at various events. The small grains variety and research tours listed on the next page provide a guide for wheat, barley and legume tours in Washington and nearby locations in Idaho and Oregon.
