2008 Wheat Performance Test Results
Are now available.
1 Varieties and percentage seeded acreage from the Feb 5, 2007 Wheat Variety survey, Kansas Ag. Statistics, Topeka, KS.

   Agronomic information by Joe Martin - Hays, and Allen Fritz, Jim Shroyer, and Kraig Roozeboom - K-State Agronomy.
3 Summary of crop performance test results from recent years.
4 Ratings from Rebecca Miller - K-State Wheat Quality Laboratory, using inputs from the
   U.S. Grain Marketing and Production Research Center, and industry.
     EX = Exceptional; large kernels; high protein content; very good milling,  mixing, and commercial bread-baking.
     AC = Acceptable; milling and baking attributes acceptable, but not outstanding, for all properties; may have minor defects.
