2017 Oilseed Workshops

The return to hosting oilseed workshops in small communities continued to be successful this year, with attendance totaling 275 at Hartline, Rtizville and Clarkston. Diagnostic sessions with live canola plants were well-received, as was the combination of speakers ranging from faculty and students to industry and agency personnel.  Presentations can be viewed with the links below.
