Ag Research

Oklahoma State University Agriculture will host its annual Lahoma Wheat Field Day in May for producers to learn about wheat varieties, breeding, fertility, disease and pest and weed management.

OSU Agriculture Field Days are educational events presented by OSU Ag Research and OSU Extension that share research-based information and resources with Oklahomans. Field days showcase current agricultural research and relevant best practices through presentations, tours, hands-on workshops and discussions. Research at OSU locations across the state is often designed for specific applications based on region.
