I am a fourth generation agriculture producer that lives in the Albin area where

have also had the University of Wyoming irrigated wheat varity trial on my pivots
for several years. I am in the process of changing part of my farm to no-till, with
crop rotations sunflowers, millet, corn being used for that and would like to find
different crops that would work in the rotations with wheat the base crop.
