Small Grains Field Days Conclude Tomorrow Afternoon
The third of three small grain field days gets underway Tuesday afternoon at the Piedmont Research Station near Salisbury. Registration gets underway at 4:00 pm and the tours start at 4:30, concluding about 6:30 with a meal.
Several wheat varieites, as well as barley plots will be on display. Of particular interest this year will be the stripped rust in wheat. In this area, common rust is usually the rust seen, but this year stripped rust has made an appearance.
NC State Extension specialist will be on hand to answer questions. The event is 'rain-or-shine'.
