IPREFER Pennycress Field Days
IPREFER uses farm-based field days to spread the word about pennycress and our research focused on optimizing off-season pennycress production and overcoming supply chain bottlenecks. Field days allow us to connect directly with ag producers and industry. We are continuously updating this Field Day webpage, so stay tuned to it and to our Twitter account @IPREFER_CAP.
