The Great Plains Growers’ Conference was held in Saint Joseph, Missouri from Thursday, January 7 – Saturday, January 9, 2016.  Jennifer Morganthaler, an MSU graduate student in Agriculture working with Drs. Elliott and McClain, presented some information on the research project she is working on for her Master’s degree program in the Small Fruit Session on Saturday. The project involves the evaluation of raspberry cultivars in grow bags in a high tunnel. Progress to date on the second year of this four-year project was presented. There was a lot of interest from the growers and the group had many questions. Jennifer did a great job!!
