At times, Michigan Wheat contributes to equipment used by our MSU research teams. We do this in order to have more precise information on research plot results than offered by the old equipment, or to provide our research team with greater efficiencies through higher-tech equipment.
Where possible, Michigan Wheat partners with the University or another commodity partner who also has need of equipment with the latest technology for laboratory or in-field use.
The Michigan Wheat Program is a state-check off program voted in by the state’s wheat farmers to assess each bushel of wheat grown and sold. The funds from the program are utilized to further the wheat industry in the state benefitting the state’s nearly 8,000 wheat farmers who grow about 450,000 acres of wheat annually producing about a 40 million bushel crop.
