The Pendleton site was affected by severe Sclerotina white mold/stem rot, and the Hermiston site had severe lodging due to a heavy rain in June.

Seeding Dates:

Odessa, WA – Sept 13, 2017
Moscow, ID – Aug 10, 2017
Genesee, ID – Early – Aug 10, 2017
Genesee, ID – Late – Sept 27, 2017
Pendleton, OR – Sept 18, 2017
Herminston, OR – Sept 28, 2018

Note that the Genesee-Late seeding date is much later than traditional/optimal, but the Oregon seeding dates are traditional for those sites.
