Make plans to attend a plot tour near you to see and learn about the newest available and upcoming wheat varieties, their agronomics, and their disease reactions. A list of plot tour dates, time, and directions was published in a previous eUpdate. This article contains the upcoming plot tours for May 18 through June 8. Plots highlighted in red are still tentative. This list will be continuously updated in the coming weeks.
