2022 Small Grains Conference
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2022 small grains conference! Attendees had a chance to learn in breakout sessions that included topics on manure management, making winter wheat work, grazing summer cover crops and more. It was all capped with a plenary address from Kansas farmer Gail Fuller. We hope you all had a blast and had the chance to learn a few things and catch up with old friends. See you all next year!
