The Best of the Best in Wheat Research and Marketing
"Profitable Wheat Production in 08", will be held Thursday, January 31 at the Grand Dakota Lodge/Days Inn 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

* Hard red spring and durum wheat market and current issues;
* Higher prices, higher costs—what crop will be the most profitable;
* Wheat marketing strategies for ‘08;
* Rotations and winter wheat—what works for Western ND;
* Variety update—hard red spring, durum and winter wheat;

* Controlling wheat insects: sawfly, stem maggot;
* Spatially managed farms; what have we learned;
