Jagger Still Most Popular

Jagger was the leading variety of wheat seeded

in Kansas for the 2005 crop. Accounting for 28.2

percent of the State’s wheat, Jagger decreased

12.7 points from a year ago but was the most

popular variety in six of the nine districts.

Jagalene moved up to second place, with 21.2

percent of the acreage. Jagalene increased

18.2 points and ranked in the top 5 for all nine

districts. The KSU-maintained variety 2137

came in third, down 2.9 points from last year.

TAM 110 moved down to fourth place with 3.3

percent of the acreage. The OSU-maintained

variety 2174 moved up to fifth place with 3.0

percent of the State’s acreage. Trego, a hard

white wheat, fell to sixth place, with 2.9 percent.

The KSU-maintained variety 2145 and Overley

were both new to the top ten and tied for seventh

place with 2.2 percent. Cutter and Thunderbolt

also were both new to the top ten and tied for

ninth place with 1.7 percent. Acres planted with

blended varieties were not included in the

rankings by variety. Blends accounted for 11.3

percent of the State’s planted acres and were

used more extensively in the north central,

northeast, and central areas of the State. Out of

the total acres planted with blends, 73.5 percent

included Jagger in the blend and 41.2 percent

had 2137 in the blend. Hard White varieties

accounted for 3.9 percent of the State’s acreage.

Trego was the leading Hard White variety,

accounting for 74 percent of the State’s white

wheat. The majority of the white wheat was

planted in the western third of the State. This

Wheat Variety project is funded by the Kansas

Wheat Commission.
