Organic Field Day
Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Hosted by Montana Organic Association, please see https://montanaorganicassociation.org/ for more details!
Despite very strong winds, the tour went on as planned with stops at several organic research projects, including the Manure Legacy Compost Carryover study, the Manure Legacy Winter Wheat Variety Trial, the OREI Creep Stop study (pictured below), and the Organic Lentil Seeding Date/Rate study! Tall Boys Tavern (Hobson) catered the noon meal, providing a delicious meal that they were able to source to be nearly completely organic!
Pictured are Dan Chichinsky and Kara Hettinger, MSU graduate students in the Land Resources & Environmental Sciences program, speaking about their research on perennial weedcontrol in organic cropping systems.
