Malt barley and field peas will be our focus. Presenters will include North Dakota State University researchers Dr. Richard Horsley, barley breeder and coordinator of the NDSU malting barley improvement program, and Dr. Paul Schwartz, cereal chemist. They will talk about the NDSU breeding and evaluation program, new malt barley varieties, and producing and protecting malt barley quality. We’ll tour the malt barley variety trial at UMaine Aroostook Farm, which is part of a multi-state evaluation coordinated by NDSU. We’ll also hear about field pea production and tour our field pea variety trial.
