OSU Wheat Programs

OSU provides extensive support for wheat producers through the Small Grains and Wheat Improvement Team programs. This site is designed to serve as a resource for anyone interested in small grains production in the Southern Great Plains. 
Oklahoma farmers sow approximately 4 million acres of winter wheat each year, making wheat Oklahoma’s largest cash crop. Fall forage production potential is one of the major considerations in deciding which variety to plant. Check out our Grain Yield and Forage Yield page to learn more about our variety testing results.
