KS Farmers Study African Crop Date: July 29, 2010
Kansas farmers are studying an Ethiopian cereal grain known as teff as a possible alternative crop for the state. The Solomon Valley Resource Conservation and Development Area and the Kansas Black Farmers Association are hosting a teff field day August 5 south of Woodston. Speakers will present information about teff and answer questions. Lunch will include teff products to sample. The black farmers group has been researching the idea under a government grant. Project acres have grown from 50 the first year to nearly 250 the third year. They want to expand teff in Kansas from test plots to market-sized plots of the grain.
