Thanks to Farm Strategy and food companies they have engaged in research downstream from the breeding work, simplified ingredients for bread products are well within sight. Additive replacement with natural flour from Ox varieties takes time to optimize and then implement.

And if the mentioned varieties in this post do not succeed, try the wsm1 variety, Breakthrough, a product of K-State, Colorado State, and #okstate #wheat breeding programs.

Grad student Ashton Boehm raises a torch of OK21PS821 spikes - a late, tall HRW beardless wheat for grain/graze-out/hay/ensilage acres and alternative to triticale. Incredible July standability and grain quality, derived from Big Country and Deliver. On to @OSU_OKFoundSeed

@ScottVanAllen @BillSpiegel @OSU_OKFoundSeed When we went shopping for alternative kernel color, the only choices were crimson and purple. No-brainer.

@BillSpiegel @OSU_OKFoundSeed @osuwit Is @osuwit working in Manhattan now?

Moved on to an @osuwit exp variety. An (HPW) yes that is Hard Purple Wheat. This is the early maturing one. I have a bin full and waiting on my trailer to return. Hope to get this one knocked out before dark.

Experimentally we call this one P57. The later one is P92. Both have outstanding bread baking quality and will be targeted for more southerly and more northerly environments, respectively. Both pack a healthy punch of life into every slice.

How fitting. Big Country wheat can play a mean card game with Mother Nature.

@OSU_OKFoundSeed Leaf spotters, leaf rust, stripe rust, wheat streak, and acid soils can be a real nemesis in HRW wheat. Not so with these guys. Orange Blossom CL+ takes everything good about Dstop and makes it…blossom.

Orange Blossom CL+ and Doublestop CL+ breeder increases are looking great. Planted same day and just across grass terrace from each other. @osuwit #wheat

Oklahoma wheat producers — quick update for you! We’ve made some changes to how we talk about varieties during plot tours and added a new Farmer’s Challenge. Watch the video on the link below to get all the details! youtube.com/shorts/dMDWykK…

@1brybry88 Not sure I understand question.

@osuwit Is High Cotton a Pi? How does TW and Protein compare?

Jury is out- 2024 statewide, 68 replicated comparisons No fungicide High Cotton v Showdown Yield: 54.4 v 50.0 bu/ac Test wt: 60.6 v 58.7 lb/bu Consider High Cotton as a genetically divergent alternative or as a replacement.

@OSU_OKFoundSeed @QShieldknight Agree, for WSMBand TMV. Yield and test weight very competitive even in absence of those viruses in the panhandle. More options go to OFSS after 25 crop season.

@QShieldknight @osuwit No, Breakthrough is our option for now. Brett can comment more but several exp’s looks promising. Have you grown Breakthrough yet?

@OSU_OKFoundSeed Looks like those fertile fields are not far away.

Walking in (cleaning) High Cotton today, everything rolling like it should. #Wheat going in the bin through the cleaner and clean wheat going in truck all at the same time today.

@TXSmallGrains @OSU_OKFoundSeed Much to digest from this data, but one item stands out in the variety Breakthrough. It is possible to package strong WSM/TrM resistance (from gene Wsm1) with high yielding ability for the High Plains.

Trial results for the Dumas Irrigated trial are now posted.

#OkState #Wheat breeding program departing Lahoma, OK today after 3 long days of processing >7,000 yield plots. All but the 1st, 3rd, & 5th graders ‘go to school’ at Lahoma. At least 2 seniors are looking for a job. Learn about their resumes at the OWGA annual meeting in August!

The first harvest results for the OSU Wheat Variety Trials are posted on website wheat.okstate.edu In the homepage go to “Wheat Variety Trial Results by Location” Locations posted are: 🌾Altus 🌾🐄Walters 🌾🚜Lahoma SM and IM **The other location files are from last year

@OSU_OKFoundSeed Don’t cut the breeder, please. Just cut the wheat! 😬

It’s been a great day, finishing up with the 6th variety for the green machine in some thin planted Barley. Red machine was cleaned and cut a small breeder and moved on to large field and cut a semi load this afternoon. Sent another truck to grower and picked up a load as well.

Drought is the proverbial red-haired step-child of hazards...severe weather gets all the pub. As a no-haired step-child, I'm still envious of course, but drought is still chugging away up in far NW OK! Rains falling after 7am on Tuesday's go on next week's map. #okwx #okmesonet

@cropsandclucks Count on it!

@osuwit Good to see you too the hat. Now showcase a few of your own for us.

1 of 3: Time to tip my hat to these competitor #wheat varieties. Not intended as recommendations - just honest opinions after extended scrutiny. KS Providence Providentially fits Oklahoma AP Roadrunner Highly legit for dual-purpose, with canopy hygiene & Hessian fly resistance

2 of 3: WB4792 Consistently rises to the challenge and elevation of western OK LCS Steel AX Becoming our standard for comparison among AXigen varieties TAM 114 Raises a high crossbar between yield and quality
