Haven’t grown cwrs for years. Question?

[Sheepwheat]

So I haven’t grown hrs wheat for quite a few years. My goal is bushels, lots of bushels for feed. I’ve tried soft white. Limited market and late. I tried CPS, but yield is never as incredible as it’s chatted up to be. According to the book, there is hardly a yield benefit to CPS anymore.

I don’t want a late wheat. I want a vg standing, high yield, who cares the quality wheat. Not late like Pasteur or the likes.

Wheatland is what I’m looking at, neighbor has, so handy.

Does hrs now yield like CPS used to? Used to be CPS was thirty percent better.

Varietal restrictions allow use of seed once so the blend is not lost.

[Sheepwheat]

Yeah I don’t farm enough to keep seed so I’m good with buying for the amount I will grow wheat.

Brandon seems to be a popular choice for yield. Eli as well I believe?

Different areas though so what’s good here may not be the go to in your area. Never really see much Wheatland around here.

Varieties have regional preferences.
Here, Viewfield the winner.
Can make CPS questionable.

[Sheepwheat]

Yeah, I dunno. Not a big wheat region for sure, but I need it for rotation I guess. Doing something unheard of like durum has crossed my mind too. Guarantee a wet year that way.

[WiltonRanch]

Splendour is my choice. Maybe not highest yield but short maturity, high px, and stands well. Brandon popular here and will outyielded it but quality always better.

If you can't get CWRS to mature, you don't stand a chance to get durum to.

Why not barley , everyone is growing it this year and its going to move because the rumour is, China has bought a million tonnes.

Viewfield here like its parent Stettler makes straw out of wet springs. Impresses the neighbors but not the banker.

As to cps i found it like barley, good barley year does great, not great not so much.

Give Redberry a look. Super early maturing (think 1 week), stands decent, high yielder, it holds its grade better than most, good protein and easy to thresh. We have grown it for 2 years now and it has been awesome.
