Fuller Becomes New Number One Wheat Variety

Fuller became the leading variety of wheat seeded in 

Kansas for the 2010 crop, accounting for 11.8 percent of 

the State’s wheat. Fuller was the most popular variety in 

three of the nine districts and in the top three of seven 

districts. TAM 111 comes in at second with 9.9 percent of 

the acreage leading in the three western districts. 

Postrock moved up to third place with 8.0 percent of the 

State’s acreage. Overley moved down to fourth place,

with 7.2 percent of the acreage, after leading the State in 

2009 and 2007. Santa Fe came in fifth at 7.0 percent,

down 2.5 points from last year. Jagalene moved down to 

sixth place at 5.3 percent. Jagger came in at seventh with 

5.1 percent of the acreage. Art, new to the Top Ten list,

came in at eighth place with 4.6 percent, while TAM 112 

moved up to ninth place at 3.4 percent. T81 rounded out 

the top ten at 2.4 percent. 

Acres planted with blended varieties were not included in 

the rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 11.6 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. Out of the total acreage

planted with blends, 48.0 percent included Fuller in the 

blend while 43.1 percent had Santa Fe in the blend. Hard 

White varieties accounted for 1.9 percent of the State’s 

acreage. Danby was the leading Hard White variety, 

accounting for 79 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.
