Wheat Update- July 2023

Jul 20, 2023

Looking ahead to the 2024 wheat crop, seed variety selection is one of the most important decisions a grower will make.  Seed production this year was a challenge due to a drier-than-normal Winter and Spring.  MKC is fortunate to have a mix of dryland and irrigated seed production to ensure supply even when we have weather challenges like this year.
 
For 2024 MKC has a good supply of the following varieties – WB4401, WB4699, and Croplan 70-17. 


WB4401 offers a great fit for the continuous wheat, rotated after soybean, and later planted acres. 
  • Grain quality is above average
  • Overall yield is very good
  • Provides aggressive fall growth for later planting
 
WB4699 brings a great option for early planted acres and acres following corn. 
  • Wheat Streak Mosaic tolerance is above average
  • It is later to break dormancy, so the threat of spring freeze damage is lessened
  • Brings great top end yield potential  
 
CP70-17AX offers:
  • Chemical resistance to Aggressor herbicide which offers control of cereal rye, cheat grass species, and volunteer wheats that are not CoAXium tolerant.
  • Good option for suppressing hard to control grass weeds in wheat
  • Does well on lower pH soils

Cow/calf operations do not always know when to focus resources to gain optimal returns. Weaning calves is one of those crucial times that should be heavily weighed in on with any operation.
