Root Crop Variety Trial Twilight Meeting
September 21, 2016Farmers are invited to tour 16 varieties of beets and 16 varieties of carrots, and to learn about their disease resistance, eating quality, and yield potential. This year's focus is on finding the best Nante typed carrot and best red bunching beet! We will taste test raw carrots and cooked beets.
This year's meeting allows ample time for growers to experience the different varieties while also getting your beet and carrot questions answered by Extension Specialists and other farmers. Bring your questions, challenges, samples in sealed bags, and an appetite!
