2. The special wheat variety contest can be entered by any 4-H member interested in growing a 4-H wheat variety plot. No acreage limitations have been placed on this contest. 4-Hers should plant the 5 varieties according to planting dates and rates suggested by respective County Extension Agents. The contest will start in the fall in each county with the Kansas Wheat Commission giving each participating 4-Her five varieties (10 lbs. each), that will be planted on a state-wide basis.
3. 4-Hers with wheat variety plots in the current year may display a wheat booth at the county fair. Each county may enter booths recieving a blue or purple ribbon at the state fair. Minimum age for state fair wheat variety booths is 10 by Jan. 1, current year. Harvesting, protein, and mill-and-bake information will not be required, but can be used by 4-Hers to make their booths more educational.
4. 4-Hers should notice differences in germination, seeding vigor, winter hardiness, disease resistance, tilling ability, color, height, head type and length, yield and grain quality. Members will gain understanding about marketing quality wheat. This will be demonstrated as the 4-Her obtains protein or mill and bake information on wheat varieties.
