Grow More Hops, LLC Schedules Academy Forums
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/28/2014

The Eau Claire-based Grow More Hops, LLC has announced its 2014-15 seminar schedule for local growers that want to start or enhance their hops production operation. Company Founder Lee Jennings, CCA is holding four sessions in Wisconsin Dells, with identical presentations in St. Paul over the next several months.

The seminars are geared to prospective and new hop growers in the Midwest interested in fulfilling the craft brewers increasing demand for locally grown hops.

"The Brewers Association states that the number of craft breweries has doubled over the last decade," Jennings said. "The craft beer brewmasters that I have met in Wisconsin and Minnesota prefer to use locally grown hops in their craft beer. As a result, locally produced hops are in extremely short supply."

The four part Grow More Hops Academy schedule is:

** Grow More Hops: September 13 in St. Paul; September 20 in Wisconsin Dells

** Hops Fertilization, Irrigation & Pest Management: October 18, St. Paul; October 25, Wisconsin Dells.

** Growing a Hops Business: January 17, St. Paul; January 25, Wisconsin Dells

** Hopyard Establishment, Harvest & Processing: February 21 in Wisconsin Dells; February 28, St. Paul
