Challis has had high yields in both irrigated and dryland trials. It is average in test weight, height, date head, and lodging resistance. Protein content is similar to Pomerelle and milling and baking scores have been good. Cookie spread is not as good as Whitebird. Yield has been below the trial average under irrigation and above under dryland conditions.
Test weight is average, height is taller and maturity is earlier than average.
In 2000, Jubilee was fairly erratic in yeld and but yields have generally been slightly below average. Test weight, height and maturity are about average for soft white varieties but end-use quality of Jubilee is excellent. This variety is similar to Idaho 377s in most agronomic characteristics. It appears to have stronger straw. Yields have been slightly less than Idaho 377s under both irrigated and dryland conditions.
