2015 Colorado
Wheat Field Days
The field days will highlight new hard red and hard white winter wheat varieties developed by CSU and other public and
private breeding programs in the Great Plains region. Attention will also be given to variety selection, special areas of
emphasis in wheat breeding at CSU, and progress and plans with CWAC and CWRF funding for CSU wheat research.
Each plot tour will last about an hour and all field day locations will include refreshments or a meal.
