Episode 261: National Wheat Yield Contest Almost Here!

September 24, 2025 • DTN/Progressive Farmer • Season 1 • Episode 261

As another year’s wheat harvest draws to a close, the country’s most progressive farmers are getting ready to submit their crop data to the National Wheat Foundation’s annual Wheat Yield Contest.

Anne Osborne, Executive Director of the National Wheat Foundation, and her team are preparing to review submissions and crown a new year of bin-busters and quality leaders, but took a break for her preparations to sit down with us on the podcast this week to talk about the history of the contest, what’s new for 2025, and what she’s expecting for the year ahead.
