Wheat-tastic Wednesday webinars continue

LANSING, Mich.  — The Michigan Wheat Program’s Wheat-tastic Wheat Wisdom Webinar series steps into week #2 on February 24 with popular speaker Phil Needham of Needham Ag Technologies in Calhoun, Kentucky. The weekly programs occur via Zoom and Facebook, beginning at 8 a.m. on Wednesdays and running about 90 minutes.

The next two programs in the Wheat Wisdom Webinar series focus on wheat production and soil considerations. Needham’s Feb. 24th presentation is Fall Wheat Management and Combine Residue Management.

Needham grew up on a family farm in Eastern England, graduating from Lincolnshire College of Agriculture and then the Cranfield University with a 4-year agricultural technology degree. He moved to the US in 1989 to expand a European crop management program that’s credited with doubling Kentucky wheat yields over 20 years.

After founding Needham Ag Technologies in 2006, he began working directly with Midwest growers and gives 70 crop management and equipment seminars a year. He has written five books on winter and spring wheat management, and has an alliance with Farm Journal Media, writing articles and conducting Farm Journal Wheat College events. Needham is considered a “vehicle of technology” for the way he transfers wheat management research and experience between different production regions!

Romulo Lollato

The third Wheat Wisdom Webinar, set for 8 a.m. on Wed., March 3 features Dr. Romulo Lollato, associate professor of wheat and forages production, Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. Lollato will speak on Checkoff into Practice: Research on high-yielding wheat in Kansas.

Lollato got his BS degree in Agronomy in Brazil, and MS in Plant & Soil Sciences and Ph.D. in Crop Sciences, from Oklahoma State. He’s now Associate Professor of agronomy at Kansas State, specializing in wheat and forages. Lollato is associate editor for Agronomy Journal, and reviewer for several other ag journals. He grew up on a wheat-corn-soybean farm in Brazil.

The main production speaker will be featured after Michigan Wheat Program executive director Jody Pollok-Newsom provides an update on Michigan Wheat Program activities. Terry Henne from WSGW, will emcee a question-and-answer session for the main speaker, after he concludes. There is 1 CCA and 1 RUP credit for each workshop – so long as participants attend on the Michigan Wheat Program/MSU Extension Zoom link and take the survey at the end to enter their information.
