Workshop

September 9, 2016

Monsanto Room, ACES Library

University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
Friday, September 9, 2016
8: 00 am to 12:00 pm.

Presentations and discussions in this workshop are designed to raise awareness of the potential for regionally adapted grain to serve growing local and regional markets.

The program will begin at 8:00 a.m. with presentations starting at 8:30 a.m. Speakers include Bill Davison from Illinois Extension, Allison Krill-Brown from the Department of Crop Sciences-University of Illinois, Frank Kutka from the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society, and Julie Dawson (Keynote address) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Frank Kutka is a plant breeder and the co-coordinator of the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society Farm Breeding Club. He grew up in southeastern Wisconsin, studied ecology, and then studied sustainable agriculture and plant breeding. He worked as a Scientist for the University of Minnesota, and as the State Coordinator for the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program in the Dakotas. In his current work, he has been developing of a yellow dent corn that has the ability to prevent cross-pollination with GMO corn. That work builds up on approximately 20 years of experience with corn breeding for the organic farming sector.

Julie Dawson will present a keynote address. Julie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her background is in organic wheat breeding and participatory research. Before arriving at UW Madison, she was a postdoctoral researcher on a project about value-added grains for regional food systems at Cornell University. This included variety trials in organic systems and quality testing for artisanal breads. Prior to that she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in France, where she contributed to the creation of a participatory wheat breeding program with an association of organic farmer-bakers. She received her PhD from Washington State University, working with Dr. Stephen Jones on organic and participatory wheat breeding.
