Attendees of this year’s AgSmart event in Olds, Alta. during the first week of August will be treated to something new, as the annual Field Crop Development Centre (FCDC) Field Day becomes an integral part of it. Both events will be held together for the first time, with the Field Day being on Aug. 2.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone, according to organizers, showcasing the latest advancements in breeding programs and inviting attendees to explore the fascinating world of barley breeding specifically.
The FCDC’s annual Field Day has traditionally been held in Lacombe, Alta. but is being combined with AgSmart to take advantage of the large crowds and showcase the FCDC’s important work to AgSmart attendees.
One of the highlights of this year’s FCDC Field Day is a focus on the new generation of barley and triticale varieties coming through the pipeline — barley breeder Yadeta Kabeta breeds barley for malt, feed and forage end-uses.
