Last week we toured the Washington State University wheat variety trial that is nearest to us. WSU has several test plots set around the area, testing new wheat strains developed by their research lab as well as other wheat breeders. We use the data collected from these test plots to inform our planting decision for the coming year.
It's always kind of hard to stop the tractor to attend this event, but we usually do. It's actually more of a social event that an educational event!

| This is a variety that we included in a three way blend last fall. It's a good producing wheat and we especially love it because we consider it to be named after our friend Jasper Womach! |
