The National Wheat Foundation is launching a new pilot category for spring wheat farmers in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. Rather than the typical 1.5 acre entry, this new digital category is for 20 acres. “Growers are using all this technology in their combines, we want to take advantage of that and have them report their yields using their technology,” explains Anne Osborne, project manager. “We think we’re going to bring in some new people interested in the contest and we’re going to learn a lot.” A new user-friendly website, www.wheatcontest.org, was launched at Commodity Classic.
