While studying to earn her Ph.D. at Montana State University, Uta McKelvy looked at wheat streak mosaic virus and the toll it can take on producers. As a result of her research and in collaboration with MSU researchers, Mary Burrows, Tim Seipel and Robert Peterson, McKelvy has developed an online learning tool that can help growers assess their potential risk for the detrimental disease of wheat and other small grains.
