2018 UK Winter Wheat Meeting

Author: Colette Laurent

Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences

Major Program: Grain Crops

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

One of the goals of the UK Wheat Science Group is to provide Kentucky Wheat Producers with the best and most current information possible. The challenge is to identify current issues and topics facing producers and find a venue and format that allows for a free flow of information in a concentrated time period. This was accomplished through the UK Winter Wheat Meeting which was held in Hopkinsville Ky. This location is convenient to a large number of producers and included nine presentations covering a variety of topics. On the average, presentations were rated “somewhat to very beneficial by 82% of the attendees surveyed, with a range of 63% to 93% for individual presentations. Overall, 71% responded that they would make changes in the next growing season based on the information presented at the meeting.
