Throughout the summer, farmers and research partners are hosting in-person field days in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and New Mexico showcasing Kernza®. Kernza, the first commercially available perennial grain in the US, prevents erosion, encourages water retention, and increases organic matter on farms. Supply chain partners are cleaning and processing Kernza, and food companies across the country are turning Kernza into tasty products for consumers, including pasta, beer, bread, and baked goods. The following schedule of field days covers a range of topics, including Kernza breeding, production, processing, economics, ecosystem services, and market development.

This list will be updated throughout the summer. Read the 2024 Kernza Field Day Press Release to learn more about each field day location and the schedule of events.
