GENERAL TESTING CONDITIONS

• Generally plenty of moisture to get started that
  continued
• through heading. Then it dried out for
  remainder of
• season. Crop was pushed by above normal temp.

• The best sites as a group were in the West.

• Stand problems in S. Dakota sites due to
  flooding or crusting.

• Good early moisture allowed very good leaf rust
  and early tan spot infections.

• Dry conditions reduced or eliminated scab
  infections.

High yield combined with high protein and early
maturity
2007 UPDATE

• Improved plot performance over 2006 season.
  Some very good yields were received from north
  to south.

• Test weight and protein data near the top among
  varieties. Also in the early maturity grouping.

• Disease ratings remain unchanged.

21
High yield combined with high protein and early
maturity
Characteristics

• High yield potential
• Early maturing semi-dwarf
• High protein and test weight
• Good protection to FHB
• Very good protection to leaf and stem rust
• Very good protection to foliar diseases

Excellent yield combined with good agronomics
2007 UPDATE

• Overall performance was lower than the past
  three testing years. It was mostly above
  average except in W. SD tests.

• Protein concerns under lower fertility, similar
  to Faller and Traverse. Its strong straw
  strength allows higher fertility management.

• Disease ratings remain unchanged. It should
  respond well to fungicides.

Characteristics

• High yield and very good test weight

• Early maturity, similar to Jagalene.

• Med-high protein

• Semidwarf height with excellent straw strength

• Resistant to the three rusts leaf, stem and
  stripe.

• Ranked 2nd in protein.

• Ranked 2nd to Wendy for shortest height.

White Wheat Status

• Our advanced lines are on hold.

• We are continuing industry evaluations.

• Due to recent non-developments, we are
  considering reducing our white wheat effort.
  However, there is still much breeding work to do
  with regard to disease resistance and sprout
  tolerance.

35
Other Breeding Developments

• Winter wheat testing 3 locations in 2007-8.

• Expanded testing on sawfly resistant selections
  in
• 2008. Estimated release in 2010.

• Breeding emphasis continuing on orange wheat
• blossom midge and durums.

• Interest for extra strong mixing wheats has
  dropped. We will be discontinuing future
  experimentals.

• Soft red spring no takers, probably will
  discontinue this work.
