OSU Wheat Variety Trial Results Available Online

Oklahoma State University annually conducts wheat variety trials across the state to show how different varieties respond to local growing conditions. Information from each unique site provides farmers with detailed information to make sound planting decisions for their operations.

The 2025 trial results are in progress, and the latest wheat harvest results can be found online.

“Each year, we test between 20 and 30 cultivars at 20 to 25 sites to deliver timely information to producers on available wheat cultivars that might be well-adapted to Oklahoma,” said Jayson Lusk, vice president and dean of OSU Agriculture. “This program, funded by the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and the Oklahoma Wheat Research Foundation, allows producers to choose the best wheat variety for the highest impact on profit.”

The harvest results from OSU’s Wheat Variety Trials offer an excellent snapshot of the challenges and conditions faced by Oklahoma wheat producers this season, said Amanda SilvaOSU Extension specialist for small grains.
