This is a reminder that the annual UC Small Grains/Alfalfa-Forages Field Day will be held on May 15th at the University of California, Davis Department of Plant Sciences Field Headquarters from 8AM 4:30PM.

Save the dates for two upcoming UC field days to be held in April and May: The South Sacramento Valley Wheat and Barley Field Demonstration Day will be held from 8:45 - 10:30AM on April 24th, 2019 in the Dunnigan Hills area.

We hope you can join us for our field day! Agenda and directions are below. Contact Sarah Light with questions: selight@ucanr.edu ~ 530-822-7515.
