Stokes Seeds recently invited growers to Wisconsin to view onion variety test results, storage trial data and new onion varieties from Seminis Vegetable Seeds. Commercial producers from Wisconsin, Michigan, New York and Ontario, Canada, participated in the event that included farm tours at Gumz Muck Farms and Dean Kincaid Inc. Guests met with the business operators to exchange ideas and information on crop production, field equipment, product handling, storage and marketing.
Growers participated in an onion grading session at the Seminis Vegetable Seeds Research Station in Deforest, Wisconsin, reviewing dozens of onion varieties harvested from Seminis research trials. Guests also toured the pathology lab and growing chambers at the research station and learned about ongoing onion research projects important to Midwest and Northeast producers.
