WOYM - Your Guide to the Wheat Yield Contest
The Official Podcast for Kansas Wheat
Hosted by Aaron Harries
In the latest Wheat’s On Your Mind podcast, Aaron Harries chats with Anne Osborne, Executive Director of the National Wheat Foundation, about the value and impact of the National Wheat Yield Contest.
Anne shares how the contest encourages U.S. wheat farmers to push for both higher yields and better quality, while also promoting innovation through tools like digital yield submissions.
Whether you're in spring or winter wheat country, irrigated or dryland, there's a category for you—and the contest could even improve your long-term productivity.
Anne also gives us a look into the other initiatives driven by the National Wheat Foundation, from leadership development to on-farm education for congressional staff.
She shares inspiring stories of Kansas farmers and how contest data is shaping best practices across the country.
Tune in to learn how you can participate, what to expect, and why growing great wheat isn’t just possible—it’s happening now.
