Summary
Further trials will be done on a previously funded project to continue experiments on organically produced oat, barley, and wheat. If sucessful, additional results could provide more proof to area residents that the endeavor is successful. The project plans will help local farmers decrease dependence on government programs and further enable them to sustain themselves.
