Abstract At present, high-quality wheat growers in Henan are still dominated by small-scale farmers. Household heads have obvious dominance and authority in decision-making, and those who are male, middle-aged and who have middle school or high school education background show significant higher preference of growing high-quality wheat over other household heads. The farmland of high-quality wheat growers transfers on a small scale but at a high frequency, presenting a cropping pattern featuring wheat-corn and wheat-peanut. These growers tend to subcontract the purchasing of agricultural materials and agricultural machinery work to socialized agricultural service organizations, showing a progress of fine farming and standardized management as well as a higher rate of signing and implementing contracts of production on order through cooperatives. Sustainable development of wheat growing and management from high-quality growers depends on the realization of high quality and high price, which is subject to the influence of multiple factors with varied degrees, including the age and education background of household heads, the area of wheat crops, the number of agricultural labors in the families, the proportion of their agricultural income, the planting technology of high-quality wheat, the implementation rate of order, government subsidies and so on.
