Wheat plot tours aim to help Kansas farmers plan better yields
04/27/26 KSNW-TV
Kansas State University Extension is gearing up for the 2026 Kansas Wheat Plot Tours, which are set to kick off in May. The wheat plots are planted across the state to show how varieties of the crop grow in different environments. An agriculture agent for K-State Extension Sedgwick County said farmers can compare crop height, disease resistance and the overall yield. “Rather than just reading about these varieties online or in papers, producers can actually see how it performs,” Jeff Seiler said.
