2020 Wheat & Durum Trials

Picture
2020 Wheat Variety & Durum Trials Details:
  • Seeded April 30th
  • Target rate: 40 plants per square foot =  127-220 lbs per acre use rate (other than the 25 plant pop trials)
  • Fertility: 300 lbs 46-0-0 & 80 lbs 11-52 spread on ahead of seeding and worked in
  • Season: Irrigation, lots or rain late June, no major wind at maturity, maybe leeching some fertility as lodging was not much different from PGR treated to non PGR treated
  • PGR - Manipulator PGR at GS 32 on its own to the back plot (lower portion of the pic above)
  • Fungicides: Miravis Ace fungicide at flowering on back plot
  • Ergot was not a concern in the plots
  • Bacterial streaming was an issue in 2020, Viefield is susceptible so that lowered its yield
  • Plots went though 7/8 of rain while standing
  • Yield was moisture corrected to 14.5%
  • LeRoy VB, Wheatland VB, Redberry and Succeed VB Durum topped the list for the fungicide and PGR treated trials and the non fungicide treated trials
  • LeRoy VB, Landmark VB, Redberry, Wheatland VB, RedNet & Alloy Durum topped the non fungicide and PGR treated trials
Plant Stand Plots:
LeRoy at 25 plants per square foot observations: finished flowering later, 15% more seed rows per head but 40% less heads per foot of row. Vs the 40 plants.
LeRoy at 40 plants per square foot observations: finished flowering earlier, 15% less rows per head but there is about 40% more heads per foot of row
Thanks to P&H Vulcan (and Winnipeg) for grading the sample 403-485-2727

Picking a Wheat Variety:
We are growing midge tolerant varieties mainly because they are good varieties, not because we have midge in our area. It seems like the top new varieties are midge tolerant..

HRSW
LeRoy VB - New! Stands better vs Brandon, about 1"+ taller vs Brandon, MR for FHB, Protein = to checks, Midge resistance
Wheatland VB - New! Stands better vs Brandon, equal height to Brandon, I Rating for FHB, Protein = to checks, midge resistance
RedNet - New! Highest falling number in registration trials, taller (lodging risk), MR for FHB, lowest DON (FHB) accumulation, high protein 
Redberry - Early by 2+ days vs others, High protein, some lodging risk (although was equal Brandon in our trials) MR for FHB
Viewfield - Susceptible to Bacterial Streaming in some areas, high yields, I for FHB, stands and height like Brandon
Landmark VB - Stands the best, I for FHB, midge resistance
Brandon - Industry standard - similar to AAC Elie

Durum
Alloy - Top selling durum, some drought tolerance, Strongfield/Brigade are parents, customers with yields over spitfire and other types, MS Rating for FHB
Succeed VB - Stands well, early maturity, midge tolerance, large seed size, MS rating for FHB
Grainland - New! Not in our trial, top solid stem durum for sawfly = Dryland fit
Precision - Industry standard

2019 Barley Yield Trial

Our plots were taken off at the end of harvest, which had the big snow on them that impacted grade and quality. Yield was lower than some of our other fields but that is normal for the field it was on (moving fields next season). I would have liked to have this out sooner but November- December is very busy in the office for me.
Moisture was higher on a malt variety compared to the others, maybe it is a malt type issue.
AB Cattlelac is a new 6 row feed and forge type. It yielded the best for us with good bu weights and all the data on forage yields looks good as well!
The malt variety Bill Coors 100 is being contracted on irrigation in Southern Alberta and Kris will be at our Dec 17 meeting to talk about the Coors program. (our main seed field averaged 153 bu per acre, yield map here)

Hard Red Spring Wheat Yield Trial 2019

We took out plots off at the end of harvest so they had the big snow on them and it did impact grade and quality. Yield was lower than some of our other fields but that is normal for the field it was on. (moving fields next season) Look at the falling numbers as well as that has been an issue this season in some areas.
For varieties available now Landmark VB and Redberry did very well. That being said many of our customers really like Viewfield as well.
Next season Wheatland VB, Leroy VB and RedNet will be available. We will have some Leroy VB available this season to do a few trials prior to launch year.

Forage Results For Hybrid Fall Rye & Winter Barley:

Forage Hybrid Fall Rye and Winter Barley Trials 2019

We seeded 3 hybrid fall rye & 2 winter barley varieties. Notes on the trials:
  • No fungicides used
  • The crop was shorter than expected and stand ability was good
  • The winter barley was not in the same area of the field as the hybrid fall rye so the results are not directly comparable vs the barley and this is not replicated so results are not scientific
  • Irrigation land
  • The field has some limitations on top end yield as we have had customers yield higher than these numbers
  • Seeded 0.8 of a unit per ac for the rye (56-65 lbs per ac range in use rate) and 150 lbs per ac of the winter barley on Sept 20 2018
  • Fertility: 350 lbs 46-0-0 spread on in spring,  80 lbs 11-52 with the seed in fall​
Picture
KWS Propower Hybrid Fall Forage Rye was the top yielding rye for forage and lower in moisture at silage timing compared to the others.
The KWS Higgins Winter Barley feed tests looked promising and yield looks strong. We are hoping to have the winter barley ready to sell pending some regulatory hoops to jump though. We have people putting their names on the list for next season already.
  • For forage we clipped out small amounts and weighed and feed tested
  • Forage data from July 6th (proper to slightly late timing for both)

Hybird Fall Rye Grain Yield Trials 2019

Picture
KWS Daniello Hybrid Fall Rye was the top variety although the plot yields did drop as it went East. Ergot risk was lowest in the KWS Daniello. 
  • For grain we harvested, weighed and sampled. The barley had hail before harvest, (was ripe so seeds were knocked out) so grain yield numbers are not available
  • Ergot risk in small grain plots is also higher because there is not as much pollen in field edges so these plots are similar to how much ergot may be in the outside edges of a field
  • Irrigated land
  • Thanks to P&H Vulcan for grading 4034852727​

2018 Irrigated Flax Yield Trial
(HRSW Trial Below)
The blend of all varieties did the best. We took the leftovers from seeding the first 3 plots and mixed them together
Of the varieties Prairie Sunshine did the best, we are very happy with this variety and expect it to be the top seller.
Stand ability was best on the Topaz
Yields are very close on all  so one season does not necessarily tell the whole story

2018 Wheat Trial
HRSW yields and now grade retention in a swath due to rain on the plots.
Picture
Please see the results below. Landmark VB HRSW and Viewfield HRSW will respond favourably to PGR's & Fungicides so i would expect even better yields from those varieties if we had done that. Link to that data below:

Irrigated Durum Yield Trial Results 2017
Below we have our irrigated durum yield trial results.
One change would be to not use a PGR on a portion of the plots so that stand ability could be looked at. We used Ethrel and all the plots stood great and were about mid thigh - waist high.
The yields were fairly close, the blend of all 6 varieties did well but I expected it to outperform the others.

​Wheat Trials 2016

This summer during our field tour we looked at our spring wheat yield demo trials. We harvested them after all of our other cereals were done so they matured on their own. They were harvested after a rain as you can see by the moisture numbers in the chart. We adjusted yields to the same moisture content for each variety.


We were amazed by the yields of the Faller CNHR this season as it preformed as well as the Chiffon soft wheat and Pasteur GP wheat. Gross returns on the Faller and Elie HRSW were comparable. Straw strength of the Faller may be a less than the Elie but that may be its only downside.


Penhold CPS stood excellent and yielded well but there is a pricing gap to HRSW this fall. Some years that price gap is not very wide making CPS a good option.


This is only one trial and some farms / farmers can grow different classes better than others and prices will fluctuate making this gross returns chart change. The chart below’s pricing was done in the Fall of 2016.
