Thanks to our cooperators for our 2023 Wheat Demonstration Plots: Josh Bohnert, Jewell County; Marty Fletchall, Mitchell County; and Art Befort, Smith County. Unfortunately, due to the extreme growing conditions, all of the plots were abandoned and were not harvested. However, the Belleville, Hays and Russell Wheat Test Plots were harvested and the yield reports are posted below."
Each year we cooperate with producers to find a plot of land, gather seed, and plant demonstration plots. With the increasing number of varieties farmers have to choose from, the plots exhibit how the variety performs locally. “Seeing is believing” is a unique concept with Crop Demonstration Test plots that are utilized in our Extension district. So if you are interested, don’t hesitate to give me a call.
