Billings
This is an OSU variety that is a high yielding, large-kernel HRW cultivater derived from a singer cross of a Ukraine variety with a Pioneer experimental. Billings shows excellent resistance to wheat soil borne mosaic virus, leaf rust, stripe rust and to acidic soils. It combines good stay-green characteristics with early maturity. Test weight patterns are above average.
Doans
This AgriPro variety has excellent decease resistance, excellent test weight, and exceptional milling and baking qualities. This variety makes a good dual purpose wheat, if planted early. It also produces above average yields.
Endurance
This OSU developed variety is our best dual purpose variety. With four years of very good yields in state variety trials, it has a reputation of consistency. Endurance is unique in its ability to tiller in spring, which expands spring grazing and limits freeze out risk. This quality also gives Endurance the ability to yield better than other varieties when planted late.
Hatcher
This CSU variety is one of the top All-Around yields in Colorado, Kansas and Texas variety trials. It is consistent as a Top Yielder in both dryland and irrigated trials for the past four years. Hatcher is gaining acreage throughout the high plains, and will continue to do so due to its drought tolerance, low risk of freeze out, and consistently high yields.
Jackpot
Widely adaptable, Jackpot is one of the highest varieties in Texas and Oklahoma. It grows rapidly in the fall and winter, has excellent winter hardiness and tolerance to acid soils. It has high test-weight, as well as good tolerance to soil-borne mosaic virus. Has good resistance to stripe rust, and is tolerant to current prevalent races of leaf rust. This variety has good straw strength and responds well to inputs.
Wheat
OK Bullet
This variety is a cross between Jagger and a Kansas experimental line released by OSU in 2005. This variety has outstanding milling and baking qualities. It has good yield potential, accompanied by good straw strength and good tolerance to acidic soils. OK Bullet is above average resistance to tan spot and septoria complexes, moderate resistance to leaf rust and stripe rust, and above average resistance to soil borne and Spindle Streak mosaic viruses.
TAM 111
This variety was developed by Texas A&M and is licensed to AgriPro. TAM 111 is the acreage leader in the western high plains because of its track record in consistently high yields. It is resistant to stripe rust, and its thrashability is excellent. It has good stem stability, good test weight, low risk of freeze out, and good drought tolerance.
TAM 203
Another great variety to Texas A&M, this variety is widely adapted throughout the Southern Plains. TAM 203 has excellent yield potential, test weight, medium maturity, tolerance to soil-borne mosaic virus, resistance to stripe and leaf rust.
TAM 401
This is a new Beardless Wheat developed by Texas A&M and is licensed to AgriPro. It has good disease resistance.
Weathermaster
This is an old standby Beardless Wheat that continues to take Top Grazer.
