Cereal school set to give producers an edge
January 18, 2018
The North Idaho Cereal School in Bonners Ferry is where industry leaders and university researchers will bring North Idaho growers 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 Archer Daniels Midland Company 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.

The Bonners Ferry Cereal School will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 24, at the Boundary County Extension Office, 6447 Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry.

There is no cost for this workshop, but you need to call the Extension Office at (208) 267-3235 or email kpainter@uidaho.edu to register for the event.
