2019 Kansas 4-H and FFA Wheat Variety Plot Enrollment – Last Call (Repost)
It is time to re-enroll or ask new members to enroll for the 2019 Kansas 4-H and FFA Wheat Variety Plot program. The program begins fall of 2018 and goes through September 2019. The enrollment form and program details are currently available. Visit: http://www.kansas4-h.org/events-activities/conferences-events/wheat/wheat-variety-plots/index.html. Members are asked to contact their local Extension Office by July 10 for information with enrollments due to the Northwest Area Extension Office by July 24, 2018.
Cost for 2018-19 will be $35.00 to receive the five varieties of wheat. This fee contributes toward the cost of the wheat varieties. It is very important that we know the number of participants early, so we can have enough seed and metal signs available for Extension agents and leaders to pick up at the Kansas State Fair. New participants will receive a free large plot sign, and five free individual variety signs. These will be distributed on Friday, September 7th at the 2018 Kansas State Fair.
Don’t forget to pull your wheat samples for the Kansas State 4-H Wheat Show on Thursday, August 2nd in South Hutchinson, and also for wheat samples at your county fair, that may be eligible for the Kansas State Fair 4-H Crops Division. This year's participants who are getting ready to harvest their plots should be planning their county fair display for possible qualifying for the Kansas State Fair entry in the Showcase Building.
