PR-863: Overview of Kentucky Wheat Yield Contests, 2015–2024
Mohammad Shamim, Chad Lee | Apr. 24, 2025 (New)
The Kentucky Wheat Yield Contest is organized and administered by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. It is heavily supported by the Kentucky Small Grain Growers Association and several agribusinesses. Farmers are required to harvest a minimum of three (3) acres, all in Kentucky, from a continuously planted area with four straight sides. Reasonable variations are acceptable on the shape of the area harvested. Yields are harvested, weighed on certified scales, and corrected to 13.5% grain moisture to convert to bushels per acre. The County Agricultural and Natural Resources (ANR) Extension Agent or designated representative is responsible for supervising and verifying the yield check and the agronomic data.

ID-275: Practical Corn Silage Harvest and Storage Guide for Cattle Producers
Donna Amaral-Phillips, Chad Lee, Jeff Lehmkuhler, Nick Roy | Sep. 27, 2023 (New)
Corn silage is often referred to as the "king of forages" and for good reason. With adequate and timely rainfall and normal environmental temperatures during the growing season, corn silage can yield 20 to 25 (or more) tons as fed per acre. Even in years with limited soil moisture, this crop can provide needed forage when harvested and stored properly although whole plant yield and/or grain content is often reduced.

Corn is a summer annual crop that is grown widely across Kentucky, the United States, and around the world. In the United States, field corn is grown on about 85 million acres (34 million hectares) while sweet corn is grown on about 600,000 acres (240,000 hectares) and popcorn is grown on about 200,000 acres (81,000 hectares). Most of the field corn across the United States is yellow dent corn. In Kentucky, both yellow dent corn and white dent corn are grown. Corn acres in Kentucky peaked at 3.85 million in 1917 and have been around 1.2 to 1.5 million acres since the 1970s (USDA-NASS, 2020). Most corn in Kentucky today is grown in minimum tillage or no-tillage conditions. Most corn acres are rotated with soybean or wheat and double-crop soybeans.
