WSU tour of Schibel farm

On Thursday, May 30, Washington State University will hold a tour from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Jeff Schibel farm near Odessa.

The twilight tour will feature an update about a winter canola research trial WSU established last fall to look at four winter wheat stubble management treatments, including direct-seeding winter canola into fresh winter wheat stubble.

Schibel will share his experiences during 15 years of irrigated winter canola production, and Roy Andrews from Wilbur-Ellis will discuss winter canola fertilizer, herbicide and disease management strategies.

The evening will conclude with a tour of the University of Idaho winter canola variety trials at the same location.
