Outreach

Wyoming Kernza harvest, and showing some Kernza at the University of Wyoming research station field day! We harvest and thresh our small plots by hand so we can get better estimates of biomass and yield across a whole field

Great turnout for our Kernza Wyoming Farm Tour - We were joined by folks from the University of Wyoming, The Land Institute, USDA, Mad Ag, NRCS, and Odell Brewing Co! Thanks to everyone who helped lead soil health and plant physiology research demos, and especially to Monte Lerwick at Homestead Acres Ag for sharing with us his Kernza fields and his extensive wisdom of growing perennials on the windy high plains.

I’m…not sure what to caption this picture. I found this digging through old photo’s, but that is Kernza that I’m holding, so……….enjoy?

Over winter break I got to help teach a soil science workshop in Nepal through funding from the UW Center for Global Studies and with Biloba Organic! It was a blast, I’m constantly impressed by Nepali students’ enthusiasm and knowledge about all things ag.

Welcome to the UWyo STEM Carnival! We taught lots of kids about dirt and leaves😁
