Friday, March 12, 2010, 2:30 am - 8:30 pm and
Saturday, March 13, 8:00 am - 4:45 pm
Location: Lacrosse Center, Lacrosse, Wisconson
The first Annual Upper Midwest Hazelnut Growers Conference is intended to bring beginning, experienced, and prospective hazelnut growers together to learn more about Midwest hazelnut production and begin working together to advance the industry. Friday's focus will be on hazelnut processing with a panel discussion of growers talking about how they currently process. After dinner, facilitated discussions will be held on how growers can work together to address the challenges of hazelnut processing, grower organization, and hazelnut breeding. The focus on Saturday will be on what we know (and don't know) about growing hazelnuts in the Upper Midwest. A panel of growers will share their experiences growing hazelnuts and researchers will provide information on establishing plants, managing pests, and propagating hazelnuts. A representative from the Upper Midwest Hazelnut Development Initiative will discuss the new Hazelnut Improvements Program and recruit growers to help find and develop the first hazelnut cultivar. The conference is co-sponsored by the UW-Extension, University of Minnesota, Rural Advantage, and the Minnesota Hazelnut Growers Association.
