Summary

Information is assembled on how much wheat yields vary from place to place, from year to year and between years in England and Wales. Some indication of the practical importance of this variation is given by comparisons with the yield differences caused by individual management decisions as measured in comparative experiments, and with plot-to-plot variation in such experiments.
