WAWG
Spring wheat growers have until Aug. 1 to put their entries in for the National Wheat Yield Contest, however, it is better to get them in ahead of time.
Growers who have not entered the contest in a couple of years will need to create an account on the new website, wheatfoundation.org/wheat-yield-contest/. Once an account has been created, growers need to log in and go to + New Entry. Please fill in all the entry details. Growers who are in National Association of Wheat Grower (NAWG) states, make sure your membership with your state organization is in good standing. Growers who are not in NAWG states will need to join by paying $100/year. These growers can pay that membership to NAWG upon submitting their entries.
Categories spring wheat growers can participate in are dryland and irrigated. Dryland growers in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota can also participate in the pilot digital yield spring category.
National winners will receive a trip to the Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas, in February 2026.
