The 2021 Kansas 4-H Wheat Expo will be on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, at the Butler County Community Building in El Dorado, KS.  The 2021 Wheat Expo will be one of Kansas 4-H’s first face-to-face state 4-H events since COVID-19 shut down physical/face-to-face 4-H programming in March 2020.  We are excited to bring the Wheat Expo back for a fun, educational and hands-on program in person for all Kansas 4-H members, siblings, parents, grandparents, and KSRE Extension staff.

There will be eight contests open to youth members with cash prizes and ribbons awarded.  Youth may bring multiple exhibits in Divisions 3-9. Classes include: (1) 1 lb. bin run for crops members; or (2) 1 lb. bin run for “adopt a producer”; (3) 1 quart jar sample of cleaned wheat; (4) three standard yeast rolls; (5) three standard sized cookies; (6) three standard muffins; (7) wheat photography contest; (8) wheat educational posters and (9) Cloverbuds, (5-6-year-olds) with participation ribbons.
