Many meetings continue to be modified or cancelled because of the ongoing COVID-19 situation.  Please continue to check the calendar for updates.  (And let me know if I’ve missed something!)

For those of you interested in organic oat supply chains, Canadian Organic Growers is presenting a webinar that might be of interest this Friday, February 11th, at noon EST (UTC -5). 

At our next “Speaking of Oats…” webinar on Tuesday, February 22nd, at 5:30 pm (17:30 hr) EST, Allan Rattey will be discussing “Australian oat breeding at InterGrain: Building upon public-funded breeding successes”. Registration for this webinar is NOW OPEN.

The presentation by Pamela Zwer and guests on the International Oat Conference has now been posted to YouTube. The videos from what ended up being two webinars have been put together, with the one from February 1st being presented first. Many thanks to Pamela, Brian Rossnagel, Ash Wiese, and Nick Tinker for what ended up being two great sessions, despite the technical difficulties!

The "Speaking of Oats..." webinars are meant to be a relaxed and informal way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the community. We are always looking for new speakers! Please email me at oatnewsletter@gmail.com if you would like to speak, or use the nomination form. We look forward to hearing about your work!
