Organizers of this year’s Pulse Days conference have added a live broadcast on the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ website at www.saskpulse.com/pulsedays for those unable to attend the conference.
“There’s people who can’t make it, people who work during the day. Maybe they’ll be able to catch one or two sessions,” said Jackie Blondeau, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers’ communications manager.
The web broadcast will accommodate high speed and dial-up computer systems.
Another new feature at the 2002 show is the pulse research poster session. Blondeau said 30 posters have been submitted by pulse researchers from the three Prairie provinces and the United States. Companies, governments and universities are using the posters to explain research projects to growers.

China purchased just over 20 million tonnes of wheat, corn, barley and sorghum last year, that is well below the 60 million tonnes purchased in 2021-22.
“It will be the latest in research information that growers can see,” said Blondeau.
The posters will be unveiled during a reception on Jan. 7, the first day of the two-day conference in Saskatoon. Abstracts of the research projects will be included in the information packages handed out to conference attendees.
The number of people who have pre-registered for Pulse Days is down from last year, but organizers still expect a full house. More than 1,700 people attended Pulse Days in 2001.
So far 600 people have pre-registered at the Saskatoon Inn and 200 at Prairieland Exhibition. The conference will be live from Prairieland on Jan. 7 and live from the Saskatoon Inn on Jan. 8. Video broadcasts will be available at both venues. In previous years, it has only been live from the hotel.
The deadline for pre-registration is Dec. 20.
