Area wheat producers, crop consultants, chemical applicators and anyone interested in agronomy are invited to attend the K-State Pre-Plant Wheat Meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 11, at Oxford High School, 515 N. Water St in Oxford.

The free meeting begins at 6 p.m. with a complimentary dinner and is open to producers from Sumner, Cowley and Sedgwick counties.

Designed to help growers prepare for the upcoming wheat planting season, the meeting will provide the latest research and recommendations on wheat variety selection, south-central Kansas wheat variety trial results, and fungicide seed treatments. Participants will also have the opportunity to discuss last-minute planting decisions and ask questions of K-State specialists.

Featured speakers include K-State Wheat Specialist Romulo Lollato and K-State Wheat Disease Specialist Dr. Kelsey Andersen Onofre, who will share current research findings and discuss disease management, variety performance, and other topics important to Kansas wheat producers.
