What People Are Saying
“We’ve seen WB4792 perform well in wet and dry seasons. It is a variety with a good disease package and very high-yield potential in dryland country, handles the heat and it has good straw strength and very large heads, allowing you to be open with plant populations and still achieve outstanding yields.”
“WB4401 is a new variety that looks to be rock-solid with great yield potential. It displays excellent tillering capacity for following soybeans and is an ideal maturity for our area. WB4401 provides us the complete disease package we need on our farm, including fusarium head blight tolerance.”

“When we put WB9668 on our farm, it instantly became a hit. It was the top yielder and had the top protein of all the varieties we’ve grown. I have not found anything better than WB9668 for our irrigated acres.”

“We like growing WB9590 because it has the combination of very short, strong straw, so you can push fertility with it in high-yield environments and still make good protein. It was our highest-yielding variety two years in a row against several competitors.”

What People Are Saying
“From a milling and baking perspective, samples of bread baked with WB4311 wheat have the visual, physical and taste characteristics that artisan bakers seek. Couple that level of quality with agronomic attributes designed for dryland growers, and you have a new variety that really shined in initial testing.”
“We planted this new variety in 2019 and placed in the National Wheat Yield Contest by making 201 Bu/A on irrigated fields with it. WB4394 demonstrated a good disease package, 200-bushel yield potential and good straw strength under irrigation.”

“WB9668 seems to have very consistent protein, and I know that the millers in our area really like it from the quality of flour that it makes. It also has good yield potential — growers can push the nitrogen a little bit to raise yield and protein, without having to worry about any lodging.”

What People Are Saying
“We tried to give the WB4699 crop a little extra care because from the beginning, we thought it was going to be something good, so we gave it a little extra fertilizer, and it was the thickest crop of wheat we’ve ever grown. By the time we finished with the 75 acres, it averaged 107.7 Bu/A. We’ve never raised wheat like that on this farm, and we will definitely be planting a lot more of this variety in the next few years.”
