Registration opens at 4pm prior to the tour. Light refreshments will be served. Dress appropriately for summer heat with hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. There is no registration fee. Come learn about grain production in western Washington, and varieties being evaluated in a field-scale 4.5-acre replicated trial at Hidden River Farms. Nine varieties\/breeding lines are being evaluated for valuable agronomic (yield, leaf rust) and end-use qualities important for malting, brewing and distilling. Varieties are also being evaluated for feed quality. Hidden River Farms is an 88-acre organic, integrated grain-hog operation. Hogs are pasture-raised and fed barley, wheat and peas grown on site. Grain is raised organically on Nisqually silt-loam soil along the Wynoochee River outside of Montensano, WA. Evan Mulvaney (Hidden River Farms) owns and operates Hidden River Farms. Stephen Bramwell (Ag Extension, WSU) coordinates field research in Thurston County. Kevin Murphy (Crop & Soil Sciences, WSU) is the Barley and Alternative Crop Breeder at WSU. Tom Collins (Wine & Distillate Science Specialist, WSU) is an expert in chemical analyses of the distilling process at the Ste.
