Utility wheat study shows mixed results for Palliser growers
Agriculture Canada notes from a Palliser Wheat Growers Association project found utility wheat yields average 13.2 percent higher than hard red spring wheat but higher production costs. Glenlea, Pitic 62 and Norquay varieties show differing suitability. Norquay had low adoption and potential smut issues. 226 Palliser farmers participated across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta with the study funded largely by the federal New Crop Development Fund.
