Wheat Initiative's Agronomy Expert Working Group seeks farmer input on extension

The Wheat Initiative’s - Agronomy Expert Working Group is trying to better understand how knowledge mobilization and technology transfer tools can be adapted to meet regional needs in a digital world. A first step in this endeavor is to conduct a GROWER survey of what knowledge transfer tools are working in different jurisdictions.

Under the leadership of wheat agronomists from the USA, Canada and Australia, the team has prepared a survey to determine the most trusted sources of agronomic information and how growers like to receive extension information. We are trying to help growers determine credible vs. non-credible agronomic information sources.

We encourage survey responses from all wheat growing areas of the world. The survey takes only 5-10 minutes to complete and it will stay open until December 31, 2019. The survey can be found at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgdSilugpPzKS_qFrVxtHgM0xn2N8csY_y6wMSlwy6Tvvww/viewform?usp=sf_link

Results from this survey will be used to structure the development of credible wheat agronomic extension information tools.
