The electronic version of MAES variety trial data is designed to be more comprehensive and useful to producers than past printed editions. Each crop is reported separately. Two versions of each report have been produced, one for easy viewing on screen, and the other formatted for printing from your computer.
Minnesota residents who do not have access to the Internet can contact their local county extension office for assistance in obtaining crop production information. Printouts of crop reports will be available for sale through the MES Distribution Center.
Individual printed crop reports will range from four to 35 pages, and priced separately. Contact the MES Distribution Center, at 20 Coffey Hall, University of Minnesota, 1420 Eckles Ave., St. Paul, MN 55108-6064, phone (800) 876-8636 or (612) 624-4900 for cost information on printed reports for specific crops.
MAES variety trial data is gathered by the University of Minnesota’s experiment station agronomists, who grow test crops at sites across the state. Sites include seven experiment station facilities, and cooperating farmers’ and other agencies’ fields.
Test sites cover the range of agricultural conditions in the state, from Roseau in the north to Fairmont in the south.
Varietal research at the U of M is supported in part by checkoff dollars administered by the Minnesota Wheat and Barley Councils.
