Small Grains
University of Minnesota Extension focuses on the delivery of timely and relevant research-based information and sound production practices so that small grain producers can quickly learn about and adopt production practices that increase profitability and reduce economic and environmental risks.
Our latest work is at smallgrains.org, a cooperative effort between the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers and University of Minnesota Extension.
