2025 Spring Cereals Grain Yield Demo - CWRS Wheat

Our largest demo of the season was harvested a few weeks ago and results are in. What I love about this, is the yield is not as important as the relative yield to another variety, under the same management.
These are not scientific or replicated, but we do have bookmark varieties on each end of the plots to make sure the plot is somewhat even.

This demo was seeded April 28th and harvested Sept 8th. Plant stand targets were 35 plants on the durum, 40 on the spring wheat and 25 plants on the barley with 10% mortality built into all of those.
40 lbs of 11-52 was placed in seed row & 175 lbs of 46-0-0 was banded before seeding. Crop rotation was potatoes last year. A PGR was used on half the plot to try and showcase lodging and a fungicide was applied at the start of flowering on the whole plot.

2025 CWRS
2 years ago SY Manness was our plot winner, last year AAC Westking, and this year AAC Stoughton VB.
Each season's conditions may dictate what variety is a winner so picking one near the top of the pack in each each season is key!
Westking, Stoughton VB, Manness were in the top 4 for yields and these 3 have the best disease package, falling numbers and stood the best of all the varieties we have carried. 

We have reduced to 4 varieties in the CWRS sales lineup this season:
AAC Westking - replacing AAC Brandon, AAC Hockley in our lineup this season.
AAC Stoughton VB - replacing Wheatland VB & Hodge VB in our lineup. (as well as anyone growing Starbuck VB)
SY Manness - great for irrigated or medium + moisture areas
Oakman VB was comparable to AAC Brandon for yield & stood better. Its the new solid stem CWRS replacing Adamant VB in our lineup so will be a big seller for dryland customers the season. ​
