The 7th Annual Hudson Valley Value-Added Grain School this year will have expert speakers on grain storage management; a panel of progressive farmers to share expertise on grain storage, handling grain for seed, and packaging grains for retail. Lastly, heritage corn and small grain varieties will be discussed by university researchers who have years of experience evaluating heritage, ancient, and specialty corn and small grain varieties, including for organic systems.  As the local grain economy grows, more people are re-discovering varieties from the past that bring rich flavor to breads, tortillas, brews, and other foods. Click on the links of each speaker to learn more.
