Congrats Lee Lubbers!! 138 bu SY Wolverine. Thank you for being a valued customer #gratitude

[Greg Mccormack @Apwheat]

Note from a customer!

110 bu Wolverine! Dryland bean stubble. Unbelievable!!
Look at the heads!
Nachtigal Farms 45 east of Pierre in what we call the Pocket.

We've been fortunate to have some acres of the new HY141 and even more fortunate to have some acres with side-by-side comparisons to top yielding varieties in our area.
NOTE: the difference in tillers!!
SY Valda is on the left HY 141 on the right

[Greg Mccormack @Apwheat]

AP Prolific looking, well Prolific. Yield plus so much more. Including Low pH, Wheat Streak Mosaic and FHB/Scab tolerance.

[Josh_Coltrain @josh_coltrain]

Yield testing #wheat in the high plains is fascinating. From incredible yield potential south of Ovid, CO to probably the worst #hail damage I’ve ever witnessed north of Yuma, CO it’s been a unique loop. Both pics are of AP Bigfoot (L) and new variety AP Sunbird (R).

We’re going to make progress today with an absolutely fantastic opportunistic #stripe_rust note east of Viola in SC Kansas. There’s a wide range of reactions from very susceptible to highly tolerant. @RichWheat @Apwheat @KSUWheatDisease @KSUWheat

[Katherine Frels @FrelsintheField]

2023 wheat had some up & downs! The Panhandle saw an unusual amount of Scab. We've seen repercussions of the pathogen in 2024, & we might see it again if it stays rainy. Check out our Crop Watch article to learn more! https://t.co/ZDphU3Bce1

While also very difficult to find in a highly drought stressed environment, #stripe_rust found near Hutchinson (Reno Co.). @Apwheat @RichWheat @KSUWheat @KSUWheatDisease

[Josh_Coltrain @josh_coltrain]

Extremely low levels of stripe rust found outside of Isabel (Barber Co.) and Sawyer (Pratt Co.). I am honestly questioning the disease triangle as I have no idea how the environment has been conducive (only slightly kidding). @KSUWheat @KSUWheatDisease

[Jeff Seiler @SGAgAgent]

Trace of stripe rust found east of Caldwell, Sumner County. Some of the plants have reached flag leaf

[KSU Wheat Pathology @KSUWheatDisease]

Low levels of stripe rust have now been reported in Sumner Co, Kansas. Thanks to @SGAgAgent for the scouting efforts.

Check out the revamped K-State Soil Test Interpretations and Fertilizer Recommendations publication from @SoilFertilityKS. In the nitrogen recs, you can factor in production system (dryland/irrigated), application method & effeciency factors for WKS. https://t.co/Cv92rNq8Yx

Freeze damage becoming evident in South Central Kansas in our plots east of Sawyer. While I found a few dead growing points, the mass majority of stems I split seem okay.

[Josh_Coltrain @josh_coltrain]

#Stripe_rust in our plots near Enid, OK. It’s fairly easy to find on known susceptible lines but not extremely heavy yet. @KSUWheat @KelseyFAndersen @OSUwheatdisease @OSU_smallgrains

[Greg Mccormack @Apwheat]

Sorry for the poor photo. Seeing more freeze killed heads than I would like. Especially give this field has gotten dry, cracks in the ground starting to show. Central Kansas.

[OSU Wheat Pathology @OSUwheatdisease]

Just posted the latest wheat disease update for Oklahoma. Growers are urged to watch for stripe rust! It has spread north and now found @Stillwater. More details and management recommendations can be found at https://t.co/X5ziZHBxec

[OSU Wheat Pathology @OSUwheatdisease]

High stripe rust pressure @Tipton, OK. This year stripe rust is earlier than usual. Wheat @Tipton is not yet at flag leaf stage, so varieties with only adult plant resistance look susceptible at this stage. Thanks Dr. Carver for the photos.

[OSU Wheat Pathology @OSUwheatdisease]

Stripe rust was reported yesterday at Altus, Southwestern OK. A few hotspots were found on susceptible varieties but disease pressure is likely to increase in coming weeks.

[Josh_Coltrain @josh_coltrain]

Gotta admit it’s a bit odd to be checking out #wheat plots at 8:30 in the morning in February in short sleeves. The crop is obviously enjoying the weather too!

[Greg Mccormack @Apwheat]

It’s always good to have your varieties in the top yield group. AgriPro SWW in the PNW.
