Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field Crops ProgramNOFA-NY Field Day: Value Added Grains Variety Trials
July 1, 2014To bring back economically viable grain production to our region, this project has focused on adding value to grains in multiple ways: by growing organically, growing grains with high market potential (specifically heritage and "ancient" wheat), and processing grains to create even higher-value products. The field tour will include discussion with Research Support Specialist David Benscher, Gary Bergstrom of Cornell Plant Pathology, Elizabeth Dyck from OGRIN, and other OREI partners. Robert Perry of NOFA-NY will provide a demonstration of mobile seed cleaning equipment. More information can be found at the NOFA-NY website.
