Wheat yields good at MU test plots

h2013_MIssouri_wheat_fieldDespite heavy rain and related disease pressures in wheat, yields have been good at most test sites in the University of Missouri Variety Testing Program. Southeast Missouri sites are showing the highest yields.

While yields varied from site to site, seven varieties yielded 100 bushels or more per acre in southeast Missouri’s Scott County. Plots at Trenton in Northern Missouri were the highest in that region at nearly 75 bushels per acre.

In southwest Missouri, the highest yields were at Hughesville plots, which tested 73-and-a-half bushels per acre.

New and older wheat varieties are tested at nine locations.
