CHARLES H. FEATHERSTONE | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 years, 3 months AGO
Due to the restrictions on gatherings to limit the spread of the coronavirus, the Washington State Potato Commission and the Oregon Potato Commission will not have their normal show at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick. Instead, the two commissions will be going to a 100% virtual show Jan. 26-28, 2021.
“By going virtual, we will still be able to have all the normal general session, cultivar performance session, Spanish session, PAC auction, etc.,” the Washington State Potato Commission said in a news release. “There will be opportunities for companies to have virtual trade show booths to showcase their products and services. Continuing education credits will be available for those who participate in the general session.”
Registration to attend is still $5 per person. Interested exhibitors should email [email protected] for more details.
“We have found a virtual platform that will still allow attendees to visit the exhibitors and have live face-to-face chats. Over the years, our many sponsors and trade show participants have supported us very well and have said they will continue to do so during our virtual conference,” the commission said. “We are excited for you all to see what the 2021 Washington-Oregon Virtual Potato Conference has to offer.”

WSU Lind Dryland Research Station welcomes new director
LIND — Washington State University soil scientist and wheat breeder Mike Pumphrey was a bit dejected as he stood in front of some thin test squares of stunted, somewhat scraggly spring wheat at the university’s Lind Dryland Research Station. “As you can see, the spring wheat is having a pretty tough go of it this year,” he said. “It’s a little discouraging to stand in front of plots that are going to yield maybe about seven bushels per acre. Or something like that.” Barely two inches of rain have fallen at the station since the beginning of March, according to station records. Pumphrey, speaking to a crowd of wheat farmers, researchers, seed company representatives and students during the Lind Dryland Research Station’s annual field day on Thursday, June 15, said years like 2023 are a reminder that dryland farming is a gamble.
