Abstract
The Kentucky Wheat Yield Contest is organized and administered by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. It is heavily supported by the Kentucky Small Grain Growers Association and several agribusinesses. Farmers are required to harvest a minimum of three (3) acres, all in Kentucky, from a continuously planted area with four straight sides. Reasonable variations are acceptable on the shape of the area harvested. Yields are harvested, weighed on certified scales, and corrected to 13.5% grain moisture to convert to bushels per acre. The County Agricultural and Natural Resources (ANR) Extension Agent or designated representative is responsible for supervising and verifying the yield check and the agronomic data.
