Hello Iowa fruit and vegetable growers, Master Gardeners,
and fruit and vegetable enthusiasts:
I am
writing to invite you to the 2017 Fruit and Vegetable Field Day on 7th
August, 2017 (Monday) at the Iowa State University Horticulture
Research Station, 55519 170th St., Ames, IA. The field day will run
from 2 to 6:30 p.m. Similar to last year, registration is free but required for
head counts for supper. Please click the link below to register. Registration
deadline is 31 July, 2017
The fruit and vegetable field day will provide an
opportunity to evaluate several research projects focusing on high tunnel
pepper and peach production, tomato grafting, integration of poultry and
vegetable production, pest management in gourd crops, viticulture, growing hops
and honey bee health and behavior studies. The functioning of equipment and
tools (potato digger, vegetable wash station) will also be demonstrated. The
overall objective is to highlight new and innovative production practices and
techniques in fruit and vegetable production that could be utilized by
commercial and local producers. Look forward seeing you at the Field Day.
