Jagger Remains Number One Variety

Jagger was the leading variety of wheat seeded

in Kansas for the 2004 crop. Accounting for 40.9

percent of the State’s wheat, Jagger decreased

4.3 points from a year ago but was the most

popular variety in seven of the nine districts. The

KSU-maintained variety 2137 ranked second,

with 8.6 percent of the acreage, and ranked in

the top 5 for all nine districts. TAM 110 remained

in third position, increasing nearly 1 point from

last year. Trego, a hard white wheat, moved up

to fourth place with 3.5 percent of the acreage.

New to the top ten is Jagalene, ranking fifth with

3.0 percent. The OSU-maintained variety 2174

moved down to sixth place with 2.8 percent of

the State’s acreage. Karl and improved Karl fell

to seventh place, with 2.3 percent. Ike held

eighth place with 2.0 percent. 

New to the top ten is T81, ranking ninth with 1.8

percent. Dominator remained in the top ten with

1.5 percent. Acres planted with blended

varieties were not included in the rankings by

variety. Blends accounted for 15.2 percent of the

State’s planted acres and were used more

extensively in the north central and central areas

of the State. Out of the total acres planted with

blends, 92.4 percent included Jagger in the

blend and 50.2 percent had 2137 in the blend.

Hard White varieties accounted for 4.9 percent of

the State’s acreage. Trego was the leading Hard

White variety, accounting for 72 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.
