Small Grains Trials
The small grains trials launched in 2013 as a partnership with Cornell University and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County to gather data on a variety of grains, and share findings with area farmers interested in adding grains into their rotations and moving into the local grains market. Now into its seventh growing season, we have planted and examined over 100 varieties of spring and winter wheat, barley, rye and oats. To learn more about the small grains trials click here.
Spring wheat is planted in the early spring and it is harvested in July.
