What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Annual national varietey testing meeting was attended by Bill Bruening who learned of new techniquess and approaches to variety testing. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?On the project website (http://www2.ca.uky.edu/agcomm/pubs/PR/PR796/PR796.pdf) and via a hard copy publication referenced in a previous section. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

What was accomplished under these goals?
There are > 100 wheat varieties in the annual performance trial which is a daunting prospect for growers choosing 1-3 wheat varieties to grow. The primary impact of this project is to provide unbiased information to the growers and their consultants so that they can make a data based decision on which varieties to grow. The impact of this decision can affect up to 50% of the overall profitability of the wheat operation. 1) Major activities completed / experiments conducted: Wheat variety trials conducted at 7 locations plus forage and straw tests conducted at one location. 2) Data collected included heading date, height, lodging, grain yield and test weight. When disease occurred, disease reaction of all varieties was recorded. 3) Summary statistics and discussion of results were carried out and published. 4) Key outcomes or other accomplishments realized: knowledge of growers and other stakeholders was changed and action of some stakeholders was changed in that their varietal preferences changed because of the data.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Annual variety testing meeting was attended by Bill Bruening who learned of new techniquess and approaches to variety testing through interaction with peers from other universities. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results have been shared in printed form - ie the variety bulletin, on the website: http://www.uky.edu/Ag/wheatvarietytest/ and at meetings and field days. This year the field day was a virtual one due to Covid-19. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Similar activites are anticipated including a winter meeting for growers and other stakeholders in January 2021and a field day in May 2021
