The Department of Agronomy and K-State Research and Extension will host several winter wheat variety plot tours in different regions of the state. Make plans to attend a plot tour near you to see and learn about the newest available and upcoming wheat varieties, their agronomics, and their disease reactions. Below is a preliminary list of plot tour dates, times, and plot locations/directions. This list will be continuously added to and updated in the coming weeks. Pay attention to the time zone for the last few plot tours. Times with (MT) indicate the Mountain Time Zone. All other times will be in the Central Time Zone.
