7 Sports Traditions Related to Ag


Waving Wheat

Waving Wheat

A main crop in Kansas is also part of a school sporting tradition.

When the University of Kansas Jayhawks score a touchdown, or an opponent fouls out of a basketball game, fans raises both arms in the air and wave them back and forth, mimicking wheat on a windy day.

The tradition dates back to the 1930s, when Kansas farmers produced more wheat than corn.
