Michigan Wheat Program will continue for five more years after 85 percent of wheat growers in the state approved the recent referendum.
Chairman Bill Hunt is one of the founding board members of the program and tells Brownfield a decade of wheat research has elevated the crop.
“We have tried very hard to deal with issues—falling numbers, a lot of the different vom issues, a lot of different things—we’re covering them all and I think every direction we’re heading so far has been a return,” he says.
