Production supported by KySGGA
(7.15.09)
The University of Kentucky has released an updated version of
extension publication ID-125: A Comprehensive Guide to
Wheat Management in Kentucky. KySGGA provided checkoff
dollars to support the update and printing costs. The original
publication was released about 10 years ago, also supported by
KySGGA. KySGGA would
like to thank Chad Lee, UK Extension Grain Specialist, for
leading the project.
Printed copies will not be
available for several weeks, but producers may view the
publication online at

Kentucky Small Grain Variety Testing Program
The University of Kentucky Small
Grain Variety Testing Program evaluates wheat and barley
varieties that are commercially available or may soon be
available to farmers. Annual variety performance testing
provide farmers, seed producers, extension agents and
consultants with current, unbiased information to help them
select the varieties best adapted to their locality and
individual requirements.
Kentucky Wheat Breeding Program
The primary objective of the
soft red winter wheat breeding program at the University of
Kentucky is to enhance the profitability of wheat production
by developing and releasing improved wheat varieties. In
Kentucky this means early maturity, lodging resistance,
disease resistance, spring freeze tolerance, along with high
yield and test weight are among the traits of interest.
Kentucky Climate Action Plan Council
The Commonwealth of
Kentucky established the Kentucky Climate Action Plan Council
(KCAPC) process to identify opportunities for Kentucky to
respond to the challenge of global climate change while
becoming more energy efficient, more energy independent, and
spurring economic growth.
