This day has been established to introduce a new winter annual crop Field Pennycress to local producers. Researchers along with industry representatives will be present to discuss this very unique short season crop. Come see: planting date studies, winter and spring variety trials, planting methods, winter and spring nitrogen treatments, and results from the soybean crop rotation study.

The day is set up as a guided tour through the plots with plenty of time for pictures and individual questions. If you have any questions or would like to bring a large group,
