Anamoose, ND | CV1....it was good visiting with you at Ted's retirement party. After I talked to you I knew I had seen your name on here somewhere.
We just finished up hauling in the last of the contracted wheat and so far the best quality was on the SyIngmar. It has very good test weights and protein levels from 15.4 to 16.0. We picked up $0.70 on the 16 pro stuff so that helps.
I'm like you, looking for a good high yielding variety where I would be happy with 14.0 pro. I really like LCS Igaucau and at harvest time I swore I was going to seed a good part of my acres to it but now I am having second thoughts. It is a variety that can flat out yield in the right conditions but it can also come up with some very poor pro.....I wouldn't be surprised to see 11's or 12's if you didn't push the N to it or the yield came in crazy good. Speaking of crazy good I just spoke with a agronomist that sells LSC varieties and the farm they operate supposedly had whole field averages in the 110 to 120 bu range. This was done using variable rate N and some pretty intensive practices. I was shown a variable rate map with areas getting 200+ lbs of N but those same areas on a yield map also produced 130 to 140 bu. Pretty neat stuff to see if it is all true. I asked about pro and they were supposedly happy with the 13 to 13.5 they received.
My plan is to seed half our acres to Ingmar, a fourth to Igaucau and the other fourth I still have not picked out a variety yet. I too was looking at Prosper. | |
