Carman, Manitoba, Canada | I would like a little information on the variety Glenn that is grown in ND. Standiblity, straw length, ease of threshing. What level's of protein on a normal year. What level's of fert. and yield's can one expect. Thank you |

Devils Lake, ND | Standability: good
Straw Length: Medium to long. But it doesn't lodge easily
Ease of Threshing: no idea. I haven't heard complaints.
Protein: Good enough.
This comes from SWND. Glenn, I think, was actually intended for NEND, but it has become popular down here.

Anamoose, ND | Glenn is a good wheat, a little hard threshing though. Quality wise it is very high in both test weight and protein. Glenn also stands as well as any variety out there. I think with good growing conditions and fertility it will yield well, for our area I think 50 to 60 bu/acre is very possible. Check out the NDSU site for more info. |

NW ND | Hi Ed- I was first in our county to raise Glenn for a seed increase. It is now the most dominant variety in North Dakota. Its biggest downfall is whitecaps, it is darn near impossible to get every kernel to thresh out- which here is counted as dockage. It has extremely high test weight, typically has the highest protein in my area vs. other varieties,

Gilby,ND | nicest looking wheat you'll ever see |

West Fargo, ND | I have had quite a few growers plant it. It is a good quality wheat, with good yield. Problem is it is very hard to thresh and like was said you will never get out the whitecaps. Most of my guys won't grow it anymore because of tough threshing. |

EC North Dakota | Agree excellent quality wheat but doesn't thrash worth a #####. Grew two crops of it in one year, first and last, the yield potential is the same as many other varieties so why give away 3 to 8 % of it as dockage. Be careful how you acquire the seed up there. I believe there is only one agent who has the license to sell it in Canada. Just read something about it in ND seed journal. It is property of NDSU Research foundation and the are the licensing agent to get it into Canada and I know they are quite tight about letting some varieties go up North. |

North Dakota | 2008 was a tough year in areas for glenn. It was my best wheat and my worst. It did not take stress as well as some other varieties I raise. It seemed the more stress due to drought the harder it threshed but it still held its quality very good, 60 lbs and 15.5 to 16 pro. Where I had better moisture it was 63 lbs and 14 pro. Two years ago the local elevator had some delivered that was 65 lbs. I will also say it is a nice looking wheat, it holds its color well.

Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | Good wheat , tough threshing. With a partial set ( 12) Gorden bars on an IH spec rotor , LW Harvest concaves and cover plates (3), made a nice sample. Very few white caps. |
|
| |
|
| I believe that it has Butte in its background, which would answer the hard thrashing. Also, it is the standard for baking quality in national tests. |

|
EC North Dakota | I agree but my question is what am I truly paid for bushels or protien? In my yield area the "high quality" NDSU releases do not yield with the others, normaly the extra yield of some of the other releases more than offset the quality factor preimum (if there is such a thing in wheat).
This is just my experience from here. Not saying it is true all over the area but I find it to hold true most of the time. |

Carman, Manitoba, Canada | Thank's for the information, I just bought enough seed for 20 acre's to see how it compare's with our varitie's. Yes to the importing, our Wheat Board just allowed it to be grown for this year, on importer and we have a chance to buy some from our local seed outlet, not cheap thou. As to threshing we have had varieties that are hard to thresh for year's, my main concern's are standability and disease pkg. Fusarium is a big problem here, some sample's last fall up to 15 to 20%. Even spraying was still 2 to 7%. Thank you for the information Edwin |

Devils Lake, ND | Tight, tough heads is one way to get scab tolerance. |

Canada | ScouterEd - Did you ever find a source of Glenn? I'm looking for some as well. They say it's like Viterra's 5602 whereas Kane is like 5603. I don't care much for spraying fugicides and that tough '02 head keeps them fungi out. Or so they say. I've been growing the '02 for a few years now and I'd like to at least run my own seed, though the price seems quite similar to Viterra's prices. So any luck? Thanks.
Mark
(I just realized that you posted almost 2 years ago! Do you have any to sell me? How did it turn out?)
