Wheat People: The Wheat Game


Here are your results:

1998 was a great year for growing wheat. The winter was mild and there was just the right amount of rain.

Jagger loved the weather. It broke yield records around Kansas.

Herbicide was a bad decision because weeds weren't a problem after all. It cost you about $10 per acre.

You harvested 53 bushels per acre, 4 bushels above the state's record-breaking average of 49 bushels. Your profits are down, however, because you didn't need to apply the herbicide.

Try again to see how your results change with different choices.
