Novel and Specialty Crop Series, Part 2: Post-Harvest Handling Methods and Quality Control Targets

Once a farmer decides to add a new crop to their rotation, there are many practical and technical processes to consider, from the field to the sale of the crop. Upon harvest, this includes pre-cleaning procedures, equipment needs to ensure grain condition, and proper handling and storage methods to meet contracted quality requirements.

Join the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) on April 18, 2024 (12:00-1:30 p.m. CT) for the next session in our novel and specialty crop series as we highlight two newly completed training videos for Kernza perennial grain and winter annual oilseeds (Winter Camelina and Pennycress). Learn firsthand from processors and early-supply chain actors what they require to successfully market novel and specialty crops, equipment options for expanding and diversifying farm operations, and how a new crop gets certified. We are pleased to present this information with insights from our panelists.

AURI presents this webinar in partnership with Bremer Bank and Avisen Legal, sponsors of AURI Connects: Fields of Innovation 2024.
