University of Illinois Extension, in partnership with Eckert’s Belleville Farm, invites commercial growers and those exploring peach production to a free, in-field educational event highlighting current research and production systems in the peach industry.
Attendees will explore:
- A SARE-supported research project evaluating planar (two-dimensional) training systems across various rootstocks
- A small peach rootstock trial block featuring MP-29, Controller 6, and Krymsk 86
- A demonstration of the California-style leader system for tree training and management
This event is ideal for both established growers and those considering adding peaches to their farm or orchard. Lunch will be provided.
Meeting point: Pavilion next to the cider shed
