There are over 2.7 million acres of hay and grain crops in California, the primary of which are alfalfa and wheat.  These crops produce a tremendous amount of food for humans, particularly milk, cheeses, yogurts from forages, and bread and pastas from wheat. This comprehensive conference will focus on the many issues related to forage and grain crops, particularly global issues, economics and crop production techniques. Discussion topics will include water management, fertilizers and nutrients, crop quality and pest management.

Who Should Attend? Farmers, Pest Control Advisors and Certified Crop Advisors, industry members, agency representatives and anyone who wishes to be informed about important issues related to alfalfa and grains.
