    Penhold Wheat yield

    So now that someone besides seed growers grew Penhold did anybody have a field that wasn't rained flat and snowed on? I had a piece on canola stubble go 80 and cps stubble went 70-75 but both had huge harvest losses trying to scratch the crop off the ground into a swath. Probably left 5-15 bushels laying down.
    My Foremost looked better but only went 70 and was done before the weather turned to crap (on very poor ground but it did look thicker and straight cutting was sooo nice).
    A couple neighbors that got theirs off early said they weren't impressed, one thought he should have seeded heavier than 150 lbs/acre, next year going to 180, the other said he was switching back to HRS next year. Sounded like high 70's low 80's for them both.

    Used to grow foremost. Grew penhold this year. Better protein, stands better than foremost. Yield was consistent right around 75. Seeded at 150lbs per acre. Nice looking wheat yield didn't impress me. Neighbor grew Elie and Brandon. Elie impressed me.

      I'm not much help, grew mostly Penhold with a bit of Oslo for comparison. Had to scalp them both out of the dirt after the snow, and didn't finish. Pleased with how it appeared to yield, it yeilded much better than it looked(looked very thin thanks to the lack of moisture till July), no significant difference between the varieties, but I won't have a yield number until I finish combining, and pick up, sort and dry all the piles of wheat mixed with ice, or sometimes ice mixed with wheat. I'd say it stood up much better than Foremost would have, given the extreme conditions. But not sure it was worth the extra cost compared to the Oslo.
