TAM 111 Holds onto Number One

Wheat Variety for Kansas

TAM 111 is again the leading variety of wheat seeded in 

Kansas, accounting for 12.6 percent of the State’s 2012 

wheat crop. TAM 111 was the most popular variety in the 

western third of the State. Everest jumped up 14 spots to 

second in the State with 8.0 percent of the acreage and is 

the leading variety in all three of the Eastern Districts. 

Armour moved up to third place with 7.5 percent of the 

State’s acreage. Fuller slipped down two places to fourth 

place, with 5.5 percent of the acreage, while TAM 112 

came in fifth at 5.2 percent, up 1.4 percent from last year. 

Postrock fell to sixth place at 4.9 percent, followed by Art 

in seventh place with 4.3 percent of the acreage. Duster 

came in at eighth place with 2.6 percent, while Jagger 

dropped to ninth place at 2.5 percent. Hatcher, moving up

two places, rounded out the top ten at 2.4 percent for 

2012.

Area planted with blended varieties was not included in the 

rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 9.0 percent of 

the State’s planted acreage and were used more 

extensively in the north central, east central, and central 

areas of the State. Hard White varieties accounted for 2.2

percent of the State’s acreage, unchanged from 2.2

percent in 2011. Danby was the leading Hard White 

variety, accounting for just over 50 percent of the State’s 

white wheat. The majority of the white wheat was planted 

in the southwestern portion of the State.

There were 4,215 positive reports summarized for this 

year’s Wheat Varieties survey.

This Wheat Variety project is funded by the Kansas Wheat 

Commission.
