The University of Wyoming will host a field day at the James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center (SAREC) near Lingle in collaboration with Eastern Wyoming College (EWC) Wednesday, July 22.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place at 2753 State Highway 157. Registration begins at 9 a.m., and a field tour will start at 9:30 a.m.
During the field tour, UW faculty, staff and students will present about current agricultural research projects. Topics include weed control, organic cropping systems, forage crops and early-weaning strategies for livestock.
“Although we are always open to the public, this is one of our chances to provide in-depth tours of research being conducted at the station,” says Steve Paisley, director of SAREC. “With the continued dry weather, we are trying to focus on topics that are important to local producers, such as early weaning, managed grazing, and forage and legume production.”
Lunch will be served at noon. During lunch, UW Special Collections Librarian David Kruger will discuss the history of the Wyoming Agricultural Experiment Station, the research arm of UW’s College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources.
