Washington State University invites grain growers to see firsthand the latest research on new grain varieties, innovative crop rotations, and other practices serving one of the nation’s driest grain-producing regions at the 107th annual Lind Field Day, Thursday, June 12, 2025.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with the field tours starting at 9 a.m. A complimentary lunch, ice cream social, and presentations follow.

“This event is an opportunity for us to showcase all of the progress being made at the station,” said Surendra Singh, director of Lind Dryland Research Station.

The field day includes on-site stops covering winter and spring wheat breeding; management of winter annual grass weeds in winter wheat; soil and crop quality in rotations; oilseed-legume intercropping; and a discussion on whether glyphosate impacts soil and wheat microbiomes.

WSU administrators, Washington state legislators, and wheat industry leaders will provide updates during the noon session.
