4-H Wheat Program A Growing Experience
The 4-H wheat variety project invites about 70 youths to grow five wheat plots and compare varieties. Participants observe germination, drought effects, disease resistance, and yield differences, then exhibit results at county and state fairs with prizes, including a trip to Houston for the top booth. Enrollment runs June to early July via county extension offices.

Weather Woes Hit Nation's Hard Red Winter Wheat Crop
Weather across major hard red winter wheat areas in 1986 is likely to curb production sharply. The Wheat Quality Council tour found drought in western Kansas and dryTexas and Oklahoma regions, with excessive moisture elsewhere and winterkill in parts of the eastern belt. Subsoil moisture remains problematic, but there is still time for an average crop if rains arrive by mid May.
