Descripción
This research shows that a portfolio of wheat varieties could enhance profitability and reduce
risk over the selection of a single variety for Kansas wheat producers. Many Kansas wheat
farmers select varieties solely based on published average yields. This study uses portfolio
theory from business investment analysis to find the optimal, yield-maximizing and risk-minimizing
combination of wheat varieties in Kansas.
