A couple of spring lines entered into the HRW trial didn’t hold up so well to the cold this winter at our Walla Walla trial.

Pretty looking cover crop just West of Dusty, WA. Fun to see growers trying new things out there.

Had to go deep to find some moisture, but I’m feeling much more optimistic about our winter wheat variety trial at Lind this year after seeing good germination everywhere.

Out flagging winter trials today. Moisture levels at each site are quite variable. Ritzville is very good at about 4”, Lind is very marginal at only 8”, and Connell is looking pretty good at about 4”.

Saw these little guys in my Fairfield winter wheat variety trials this week. Healthy, well fertilized wheat can usually outgrow injury due to winter grain mites. While there are chemicals available to treat them, there is no well established economic thresholds.

Our earliest varieties have begun jointing at our St. John trial. LWW17-5877 looked to be the furthest along, but also found some nodes on SY Dayton and AP Exceed, though I didn’t go through each and every plot, just the tallest.

Took the annual trip to Douglass County for snow mold ratings yesterday with @wsuwheat @clubwheat. Snow cover for 150+ days in some areas this year. Thought I would share some visuals from the variety trial.

Noticeable difference in emergence between spring wheat varieties in the cold soil temps we have this spring. “Seahawk” on the left and “Tekoa” on the right.
