The North Idaho Cereal School in Bonners Ferry will be held Wednesday, Jan. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Boundary County Extension Office, 6447 Kootenai Street. Industry leaders and university researchers will bring you the latest information on weed and disease control, pest issues, and variety trial results. Presentations will include updates on blackleg in canola, results of Boundary County wheat and barley variety trials, the latest information on weed control strategies, and a market update. In addition, an ADM representative will speak about grain quality issues. Pesticide recertification credits will be available for participants.
The Idaho wheat and barley commissions sponsor eight “cereal school” workshops across the state and provide lunch for participants. These educational workshops provide an opportunity for producers to learn more about critical issues in their region.
