Wheat Industry News

Recent news and highlights from around the wheat industry.

Speaking of Wheat: “We go that extra step to take care of the ground because we’re excited when it produces better. It’s a family heritage thing. This is what my grandparents did, they passed it down to my father and now it’s going to be passed down to me and I want to pass it on to my children.” – Kyler Millershaski, Kleeman/Millershaski Farms, Lakin, Kan. Hear more from Kyler about his family’s story here.
