But in the real world of production agriculture, where "silver bullet" solutions to serious problems seldom exist, steady incremental progress is a good thing. It means there´s movement in the right direction, and it implies a continued chipping away at scab´s detrimental impact on affected wheat and barley producers and buyers. [Read more..]

Wheat Grower & USWBSI Co-Chair Reflects Upon Scab Initiative´s Origin, Progress & Challenges

First, he´s a Minnesota wheat grower whose own farm has been seriously impacted by this disease. Second, he was instrumental in obtaining initial federal and state of Minnesota funding for scab research in the mid-1990s. And third, he has served as co-chair of the U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative (USWBSI) since the group´s establishment in the latter ´90s. [Read more..]
