WestBred is one of the major partners in the National Wheat Foundation National Wheat Yield Contest. Marketing Manager Carrie Roach reports 16 of the 28 national winners planted WestBred Wheat. Five of those winners are from North Dakota, and one farms in Minnesota. This competition has evolved to include quality characteristics, which will be announced in January. Roach sees the contest as a resource for farmers planning for 2026. “I think the best place for a grower to start is to look at the state and the national winners, look at what varieties they’re planting, see if they’re close to your region and go to your seed supplier and start a conversation about those varieties.” Listen to the full interview.
