SDSU Extension 2015 Wheat Walks
BROOKINGS, S.D. – The 2015 SDSU Extension Wheat Walks begin May 26 near Fort Pierre in the morning and near Wall in the afternoon. They will continue on May 27 near Winner in the morning and at 4 p.m. at Agland Cooperative near Delmont.
“The Wheat Walks provide an opportunity for wheat producers to interact with South Dakota State University Extension Specialists with regards to wheat production issues,” said Emmanuel Byamukama, SDSU Extension Plant Pathologist.
During the Wheat Walks, producers will receive current information on soil fertility, pest management and agronomy. The schedule allows for plenty of time for small group/one-on-one interaction with specialists. There will be no charge to attend the events, thanks to sponsorship by the South Dakota Wheat Commission and South Dakota Wheat Inc. as well as local cooperatives. A meal and refreshments will be available at each location.
