“We are excited to share strategies and advancements that can boost wheat yields,” said Jeffery Krohn, Michigan Wheat Program Chairman. “This year’s lineup emphasizes practical tips and global insights.”
The agenda features presentations on the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) by a top-producing UK grower, new wheat varieties, and Michigan’s wheat production potential.
Other highlights include awarding the Michigan Wheat Yield Contest winners and updates on the state’s milling industry and the Michigan Wheat Program.
Attendance is free for wheat growers and stakeholders, but pre-registration is required. Participants can register online at miwheat.org or by contacting Jody Pollok-Newsom at 1-888-WHEAT01 or jody@miwheat.org.
This event underscores the Michigan Wheat Program’s dedication to advancing wheat production and supporting farmers. With nearly 8,000 wheat farmers across Michigan, the program continues to fund research and educational initiatives to promote sustainable and profitable wheat farming.
