If you were sorry to miss the real thing, consider joining us for the Small Grains and Soil Health Field Meeting that will be hosted by UCCE Advisors Michelle Leinfelder-Miles and Brenna Aegerter on June 5th on Staten Island in the San Joaquin County Delta.
Finally, be sure to check out the interactive variety selection webtools mentioned at the field day. Here are links to the tool for choosing small grain varieties based on multi-year UC trial data:
