Author: Edwin Ritchey
Planning Unit: Plant and Soil Sciences
Major Program: Grain Crops
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Specialists, researchers, and support staff came together tocreate a wheat field school training series with funding from Kentucky SmallGrain Growers Association. This program is not a field day type setting, rathera hands-on training where participants take measurements, make management decisions,and have to problem solve issues involving wheat production. We have completedtwo of the three trainings to date that covered topics wheat managers wouldcontend with during green-up and at pre-flower. The program had participantsfrom four surrounding states. We are learning and adjusting the trainings, butplan to expand the field school training series into corn and soybean.
