ANKENY, Iowa (DTN) The Wheat Quality Council’s annual Hard Winter Wheat Tour returns next week with a few new twists.
Typically, the four-day tour of mostly Kansas wheat fields is held during the first week of May. But it was delayed two weeks this year to allow more time for participants to get COVID-19 vaccinations, with hopes of boosting participation. Sampling begins Tuesday, May 18, with scouts leaving Manhattan, Kansas.
As of May 12, 46 people have signed up for the 2021 tour, according to organizer Dave Green. That’s about half of the number of farmers, wheat buyers, end users, agronomy specialists and others who normally participate by collecting samples during the tour.
