Foundation Extends Deadline for the National Wheat Yield Contest
USAgNet - 04/28/2017

The National Wheat Foundation announces an extension for Winter Wheat enrollment in the National Wheat Yield Contest to May 15.

Growers now have until close of business that day to register a winter wheat variety. This is a two week extension from the original deadline of May 1.

"The spring has been delayed by over two weeks across the northern tier states and winter wheat is just coming out of dormancy," said Contest Director Steve Joehl. "Extra time to assess the wheat crop's yield potential will be beneficial to attract more entries to the Contest from these states."

In addition, growers there are up against spring planting deadlines, and are trying to seed at every opportunity, Joehl added. The extension provides those interested in entering some valuable time to complete the process.

The registration process is all online at http://yieldcontest.wheatfoundation.org
