The field days are jointly hosted by the Colorado Wheat Administrative Committee, the Colorado Association of Wheat Growers, the Colorado Wheat Research Foundation, Colorado State University Crops Testing and Colorado State University Cooperative Extension.

The program at each field day will feature a walk-through of the variety trial with CSU Wheat Breeder, Dr. Scott Haley. Attendees will also hear updates from the CSU Crops Testing leader, Dr. Jerry Johnson; Colorado Wheat Executive Director, Brad Erker; and Director of Colorado Seed Programs, Rick Novak. 

The program at each location will last about an hour and all locations will have refreshments or a meal. For a detailed schedule with directions to each location, see the map with this article, or visit www.coloradowheat.org.
