JAGGER NUMBER ONE AGAIN

Jagger was the leading variety of wheat seeded in Kansas for the 2001 crop. Accounting for 35.8 percent of the State's wheat, Jagger increased slightly from a year ago and Jagger was by far the most popular variety seeded in the southern third of the State. Jagger made the biggest gain in the southeast district. The KSU maintained variety 2137 ranked second over all, with 22.3 percent of the acreage. It ranked first in five districts and second in the other four. TAM 107 remained in third position, but dropped to 5.3 percent of the acreage State-wide. Ike remained in fourth place with 3.6 percent of the acreage, but dropped 0.5 percent from last year. The fifth most popular variety was Karl and improved Karl with 3.3 percent of the State's acreage. New to the top ten is OSU maintained variety 2174, ranking sixth with 3.0 percent. TAM 110 moved up to seventh place, with 2.8 percent. The KSU maintained variety 2163 moved down to eighth place, with 2.0 percent. Dominator remained in the top ten, with 1.5 percent. Back in the top ten is AgriPro Coronado, with 1.1 percent. Acres planted with multiple varieties blended together were not included in the rankings by variety. Blends were used more extensively in the north central and central parts of the State, accounting for 7.0 percent of the acres planted State-wide. Out of the total State acres planted with blends, 93 percent had Jagger in the blend and 82 percent had 2137 in the blend. All Hard White varieties accounted for 0.8 percent of the State's acreage, with Trego accounting for almost half.
