Fall Field Day: Agricultural Research Center-Hays

K-State WKREC Field Day at the ARCH

Welcome to the WKREC Fall Field Day at the ARCH! Join us for a day dedicated to addressing the topics that matter most to our producers in western Kansas. From refining occasional tillage practices and integrated crop-livestock systems to tackling weed control and exploring resilient crop varieties, our sessions focus on practical solutions tailored to the challenging demands of agriculture in western Kansas. Enjoy a delicious lunch, network with experts, and explore our faculty and student poster session. With over 120 years of service, WKREC is committed to meeting the unique needs of our agricultural community.
