It's been great hearing from farmers and ag folks at the annual #OGRAIN meeting in Madison. Researchers in WI innovating around rice production for the Midwest; able to produce 5000#/ac in spite of logistical challenges. @graincollab @UOgrain

Nice mentions of the OGRAIN program - and rather proud that it cites us as a farmer organization, as that is the heart of our Extension program! Looking forward to continuing to work with our amazing farmer, industry, and non-profit partners to expand support for organic grains.
Organic Farming Research Foundation and @Seed_Alliance (OSA) are proud to announce the 2022 National Organic Research Agenda (NORA) and State of Organic Seed (SOS).

Beautiful stand of cereal rye going into the spring. This is what the stand should look like this time of year for roller-crimping - the lack of bare soil indicates good spring weed suppression and adequate biomass. Field in southern WI.
