Prosper-Elgin-Faller Spring Wheat

[seabass]

We grew Prosper this year and it stood good with around 14 Pro. Yield was quite good. One field ave 80 with good quality. Right now Richardsons are the only buyers and the last price we were quoted was 5.60.

Is Prosper on Warburton's list for next year?

Wow Seabass...80 @ $5.60 works for me all day long. How is the fuz?

[MBgrower]

Cardale yielded 75 and faller did abot 10 bu better this year. Not uncommon for pastuer to yield 100 per acre. Faller did fall down more than cardale. Pastuer stands quite well. Warning, pastuer can take an extra 10 days to mature, so could be risky in northern areas. Disease package is good on all three, good tolerance to fuarium. Faller is generally priced 20 to 50 cents under hrs here based on proteins of 13 or more.


Pastuer is good for the feed market, local feed market seems to like it even though proteins often uner 10%.

Ya it turned out good. It was reseeded after our canola froze so that made a big difference compared to our earlier Hrsw. It caught a bit more rain at the right time. Not sure if it will be consistantly that good a yielder but we will see this year. The fuz was low this year because it was so dry. We will probably give it a blast of fungicide if its wet this year. We were also told that there could be a premium on the price this year if Warburtons pick it up. I think it is classified in the CWIW class this year.

Thanks for the info....all the best.

I'll continue to aim for high quality, high protein CWRS here in the slum of the Ghetto, Never see the yields you guys are throwing around anyway. Good for you guys! The only way to grow wheats...high volume at reduced prices, what ever it takes to eek out a margin. You guys have a better chance at it, with what you're doing, than we do with CWRS.
