SPECIAL PRESS RELEASE

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.
