			Teff to be subject of area field day By Special to the I-R Last Updated: July 28, 2010 On Aug. 5, the Solomon Valley Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area, Inc. and the Kansas Black Farmers Association (KBFA) will host a Teff Field Day at the Mike and Teresa Webb farm at the corner of 30 and R Roads north of Natoma/south of Woodston.  The Field Day will begin at 9 a.m. by visiting the Webbs' teff field and conclude with a light lunch including teff products to sample.   Speakers will present information on Teff as a Forage, Controlling Weeds in Teff, and Available Teff Varieties.  Producers will be available to answer questions about their experience with this specialty crop.   The free noon lunch is sponsored by Allied Genetics, Star Seed of Osborne and Beloit, and Ochampaugh Farms Pioneer Seed.  Samples of foods made with teff will be available. Teff, a grain native to Ethiopia, has been grown in Graham County since 2005.  In 2007 the Solomon Valley RC&D was awarded a three-year U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) to grow and market teff.  There are currently more than 150 acres of teff being grown in Osborne, Rooks, Graham, and Phillips Counties.  Teff is gluten free and known to be both flood and drought tolerant.  The grant is administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, an agency of USDA. The public is welcome to attend the Field Day.  Please RSVP to the RC&D by July 30 at (785) 425-6647 or teresa.webb@ks.nacdnet.net        Comments? Please Respond.
