DRY BEAN FIELD TOUR
The Dry Bean Field Tour is a day for growers to learn about the latest research into insecticides, herbicides, breeding, machinery, soil amendments, fertilizer, pests, weeds, and more. The day starts with coffee and donuts and, usually, a legislative update from a senator or congressman; then attendees grab just one more donut and one more cup of coffee and load onto the trailers. The experts from Panhandle Station are situated along the route at their respective "plots" where the trailers stop so they can explain their latest research findings. After the tour it's time for lunch and catching up.

Please check back as additional information will be added as it becomes available.
