MAES variety trial crop resource page links
Crops are listed alphabetically by common names, without modifiers such as "winter" (i.e., find "winter wheat" under "wheat: winter"). Click on the crop to go to a resource page for that crop.
Each resource page contains the most recent Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station data available for that crop. If no trials for a particular crop have been done for a number of years, the data is so dated. Some crops also have data from previous years available, as well as links to other materials which might be useful to a producer.
Each crop's current data is presented in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.
