Predictive Yields for Small Scale Staple Crop Production in North Central US
2024 Michigan Family Farms Conference, SARE track
Presented by Eleanor and Scott Hucker, Great Lakes Staple Seeds
Eleanor and Scott will present highlights of their first year's progress growing heritage grains and cereals and other previously underrepresented staples such as amaranth, millet, oats, etc. on small-scale plots. Staple crops are field grown, harvested, and processed on our southeast Michigan homestead to generate and analyze relevant agronomic data to better enable growers to more confidently and successfully meet their goal of strengthening food security.
