RR Wheat - but who wants it? (was GM German Wheat Trials...)
Puma doesn't produce the milling qualities, protein and color that are
expected of wheat from our area. We had some wheat test 15% protein this year. The area raises some of the best hard red winter wheat in the world and we don't bring in varieties that don't measure up. The merchants simply won't buy it. You have to take it to the feed lot or dairy and take what they will give you for it. Some people raise soft wheat for pasture and feed but not many. Wheat makes poor feed for cattle and we don't have any chicken or hog operations around. Since you raise wheat I thought you would have some idea what I meant by quality.

Gordon What, you mean the crop has not been genetically engineered to be tolerant to Puma, so you don't like that herbicide? "Torsten Brinch" wrote in message .. .

Depending on custom cutter and bigger combines have scattered wild oats every where and normal cultural practices in wheat won't control them. But you have Puma available to deal with wild oats in the growing crop, haven't you? |
