Crop Researchers from North Dakota State University, (NDSU) the University of Minnesota (U of M) and South Dakota State University (SDSU) will provide an update on their wheat research projects, in a briefing for growers on Nov. 24, at the Ramada Inn in Grand Forks, N.D.

"This will be an excellent way for growers and others in the small grains industry to learn more about current small grains research projects, many of which are supported by the Minnesota wheat checkoff," says Tom Anderson, a Barnesville, MN grower, and chair of the Small Grains Research & Communications Committee.

Represented by a cross-section of the wheat industry, the Committee works on behalf of the Minnesota Wheat Research and Promotion Council to identify wheat research priorities, and disseminate research results.

The research reporting session runs from 1 to 5 p.m. Nov. 24. It is open to the public and there is no fee to attend. A look at the reporting schedule:
