The University of Minnesota has released its latest wheat variety selections. University of Minnesota Extension Small Grains Specialist Jochum Wiersma says variety selection looks at several factors. “We’re going to pick a number of varieties that are on the high yield side and some varieties that are more conservative balanced varieties,” said Wiersma. “After that, things that really drive the decision are fusarium head blight, bacterial leaf streak, preharvest sprouting, and straw strength.” MN-Rothsay, Dyna-Gro Ballistic, and SY Valda are among the top variety picks.
