Utah State University will provide two lectures on forage crop management and Dr.
Pierce Paul, Associate Professor of Cereal Pathology from Ohio State University will join
us to provide two lectures on disease epidemiology and management. A hands-on
practical session will feature beneficial insect identification from samples collected from
alfalfa crops during the 2015 growing season. Topics in plant breeding and weed,
disease, insect and nutrient management will be covered by 10 MSU staff from the
Bozeman campus, as well as the Superintendent of the MSU Central Ag Research
