The Kansas Wheat Commission built the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center on 35,000 square feet of land owned by Kansas University in order to provide improved varieties of wheat to the farmers as fast as possible. The center includes 10,000 square feet of office space for the Wheat Growers Board Room, the Kansas Wheat Commission, and a number of other wheat-related organizations. The 15,000-square-foot state-of-the-art lab is used by Heartland Plant Innovations to conduct research and find new wheat genetic traits as well as relevant technologies. The last 10,000 square feet of space contain the four greenhouses where varieties of wheat are grown in optimal conditions, with controlled temperature, humidity, and air circulation. 1990 Kimball Avenue, Manhattan, KS 66502, Tel. 785-539-0255,
