I had the distinct honor yesterday to ride combine with a producer harvesting @PlainsGold Fortify SF. What a thrill to understand more about how that wheat has contributed to profitability on their farm. How lucky I was to spend my career as a wheat breeder.

Pre-emergence herbicides with residual activity are used less frequently in wheat production in Kansas, but residual herbicides applied prior to wheat emergence can be part of a good weed management system. More on pre-emergence herbicides: bit.ly/47qUtcC @KStateWeedSci

All the @CSUAgSci dryland wheat variety trial have been added to WheatTrials.com. Irrigated still to come. Great job @CSUCrops and @CSUwheat! Here's a 10-loc average, with @PlainsGold hard white Monarch in the #1 spot. Just that says a lot about the kind of year it was!
