The Colorado State University Crops Testing Program conducts multi‑location winter wheat variety performance trials across the eastern half of Colorado to provide unbiased, research‑based data that support informed variety and management decisions. Trial results are published annually and encompass both dryland and irrigated production systems. Each June, CSU Crops Testing also hosts annual Wheat Field Days, offering producers, industry partners, and community members the opportunity to view trial entries and discuss current research and production challenges firsthand.
