Summary – 2009 Winter Wheat Workshops

The first ever Winter Wheat Workshops were recently completed in Wisconsin. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the participants who attended the workshops. We also want to thank our industry sponsors (Partners in Production and Syngenta), as well as Jim Stute (UW-Extension Rock County), Mike Rankin (UW-Extension Fond du Lac County), and Mike Ballweg (UW-Extension Sheboygan County) for being host sites. Based on feedback from participants, we do plan to offer workshops again in 2010 and we will keep you posted on dates and times at a later date. Also, based on requests from participants, we are making available here copies of the slides from the talks (posted in PDF format).
