Preliminary small grains yield data is starting to come in from 45 spring wheat varieties across five locations in Minnesota. “We’ve got a couple locations averaging over 100 bushels per acre,” said Jim Anderson, spring wheat breeder, University of Minnesota. “Benson averaged 97 bushels per acre, Fergus Falls was 77 bushels.” Yields from trials typically end slightly above grower averages due to the newer genetics and optimal fertilizer applications.
