TAM 111 Becomes New Number One

Wheat Variety for Kansas

TAM 111 became the leading variety of wheat seeded in 

Kansas for the 2011 crop, accounting for 11.6 percent of 

the State’s wheat. TAM 111 was the most popular variety 

in the western third of the State. After just one year at the 

top, Fuller dropped to second in the State with 10.3

percent of the acreage but continues to be the leading 

variety in the South Central and Southeast Districts. Art

jumped up five spots to third place with 8.0 percent of the 

State’s acreage and is the leading variety in the Central 

District . Postrock moved down to fourth place, with 7.4

percent of the acreage, while Santa Fe came in fifth at 4.0 

percent, down 3.0 points from last year. TAM 112 moved 

up to sixth place at 3.8 percent, followed by Jagger in

seventh place with 3.7 percent of the acreage. Armour, a 

new variety in 2010, came in at eighth place with 3.6

percent, while Overley dropped to ninth place at 3.1

percent. Jagalene, the most popular variety in 2006,

rounded out the top ten at 2.8 percent for 2011. 

Area planted with blended varieties was not included in the 

rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 11.1 percent of 

the State’s planted acreage and were used more 

extensively in the north central, east central, northeast, 

and central areas of the State. Hard White varieties 

accounted for 2.1 percent of the State’s acreage, up from 

1.9 percent in 2010. Danby was the leading Hard White 

variety, accounting for 50 percent of the State’s white 

wheat. The majority of the white wheat was planted in the 

southwestern portion of the State. 

This Wheat Variety project is funded by the Kansas Wheat

Commission.
