Garrison and Duster Foundation Seed Wheat Supplies Look Good For This Fall

Wed, 22 Jun 2011 03:36:14 CDT

Wheat harvest has pretty well been concluded as we offically begin summer 2011. One of the fears as we approached the 2011 wheat harvest season was the availability of good quality seed wheat for the 2012 crop. During this year's harvest, we received a couple of reports from Jeff Wright, Operations Coordinator for the Oklahoma Foundation Seed Stocks efforts at Oklahoma State University.


One of the early reports we got from Jeff was about the very popular variety developed by Dr. Brett Carver and his team at OSU- Duster. The Foundation Seed Field for Duster at Coyle ended up making just over 50 bushel to acre with a 63 pound test weight. Then, more recently, the OSU team harvested one of the hot new varieties developed by OSU, Garrison, and the results were also very encouraging. Last Friday, Jeff wrote us "We got the Foundation Seed field at McLoud harvested yesterday, 32 acres made 63 bushels to the acre with a 60 pound test weight."


Jeff also provided us a beautiful picture of the Garrrison wheat field as it was making it's final turn from green to gold back on the second of June of this year.


For more information about both Duster as well as Garrison (plus a couple of the other HRW varieties developed by OSU), click here for this thumbnail sketch offered by Oklahoma Genetics, Inc.
