Use of a Producer Survey to Reconcile Differences in Experiment Station Yield Estimates

Abstract

Average producer practice reveals that the expected returns are greater from dual-purpose wheat grown for both forage and grain than for grain-only wheat. Variety trials report an 11 bushel per acre yield advantage and hence economic advantage for grain-only. Research was conducted to reconcile the inconsistency.direct elicitation method, dual-purpose, simulation, stocker steers, survey, triangular distribution, wheat, Farm Management, Livestock Production/Industries, Q10, Q12,
