The Crop Testing Plan Shows Wheat Seed Purity Results
The analysis of thousands of farmers' wheat crops from the Crop Testing Plan last summer reveals 41 percent pure enough for good true-to-variety seed, 24 percent fair, and 85 percent with bad mixtures. Mixtures include rust-susceptible varieties like Marquis and Red Bobs, causing rust risk and uneven maturity that lowers grade. Farmers should use pure registered seed on clean summer fallow to maximize returns.
