Welcome to the website of the Michigan Wheat Program, the check-off program for Michigan wheat farmers. The Michigan Wheat Program was voted in by the state’s wheat farmers in July 2011 and reaffirmed through a continuation vote in 2016 and again in 2021. The program benefits the state’s nearly 8,000 wheat farmers who grow wheat in more than 50 of Michigan’s 83 counties.
How about a stay-at-home conference session? This January and February, the Michigan Wheat Program has lined up three wheat-tastic “Wheat Wisdom” webinars focused on marketing.
Marketing can be very broad and spot-on marketing presentations about wheat are challenging to find. But this winter you can invest an hour on-line for a live webinar (or three) to learn what’s new in wheat marketing, and some tools that can grow your bottom line.
Farmers participating in the Great Lakes YEN will agree to collect soil, tissue, and grain samples at specific times throughout the duration of the project and send them to a lab in shipping boxes provided for analyses.
