Objectives:
Diverse cropping environments exist within the five-county area most closely served by Northern Agricultural Research
Center. Winter wheat, spring wheat, barley, durum and oat production together in the five counties (Blaine, Chouteau,
Hill, Liberty and Phillips), represents just over 28 percent of the 2013-2017 statewide cereal production totals (43
percent for winter wheat and 25 percent for spring wheat). Producers are keenly interested in variety performance
data generated under local conditions. It is our objective, within budget and other resource limitations, to evaluate
small grain variety performance, over time, under conditions representative of specific areas of northern Montana, yet
differing from that of the Research Center. Growers are provided reliable, unbiased, up-to-date information to make
comparisons among improved spring wheat varieties. This report provides producers in north central Montana the
information necessary to select varieties best suited for their specific area and growing conditions.
Methods:
Standard off-station spring wheat variety performance trials were conducted on chemical fallow or minimal tillage
during 2018 in four northern Montana counties.
Dryland Spring Wheat Trials:
1. Cederberg Farm, Blaine County S13-T36N-R25E
2. Flansaas/Lumsden Farm, Phillips County S24-T35N-R29E
3. McKeever Farms, Chouteau County S16-T27N-R10E
4. Kammerzell Farm, Liberty County S11-T31N-R05E
All four spring wheat trials consisted of 22 entries and were seeded in replicated, 3-row, 22-foot plots on a 12-inch row
spacing, utilizing a self-propelled cone seeder with Atom Jet paired row openers. All rows of each plot were trimmed to
a harvest length of approximately 17 feet with a three-point rototiller. Plant height was measured from the soil surface
to the top of the head, excluding awns, and percent sawfly cutting was visually estimated for each plot immediately
prior to harvest. A ‘Wintersteiger Classic’ plot combine, funded in part by the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee,
was used to harvest each 3-row plot. Seed was cleaned prior to measuring plot weight for yield determination.
Protein, test weight and moisture content were determined using a Foss Infratec 1241 near infrared analyzer. Falling
number was determined using a Perten FN1700 according to the FGIS Directive 9180.38. Other variables specific to
each individual trial are listed with the current year data tables.
Please note that research trial yield results recorded under wheat stem sawfly pressure are likely much higher than a
producer should expect. Small plot variety trials are managed to assess maximum yield potential and are harvested in
such a way that all stems and heads are picked up by the combine, regardless of lodging or cutting due to sawfly.
Pickup guards coupled with an extremely slow ground speed and an exceptionally low cutting height help researchers
collect all heads in order to assess seed yield potential. If you are a producer in a wheat stem sawfly environment,
although hollow stemmed varieties may be high yielding in research trials in your area, we strongly recommend against
growing those hollow stemmed varieties. Please be aware that if you seed hollow stemmed varieties with sawfly
present, you are only creating a breeding ground for future generations of sawfly in your area and not helping combat

the pest population.
Results:
Following late seeding and early high temperatures, the spring wheat trial yields at Turner averaged nearly 36 bu/ac
(Table 1). For the second year in a row, Northern Seeds ‘NS Presser CLP’ was the top yielding entry producing 40.4
bu/ac. ‘Alum’, ‘Brennan’, ‘Choteau’, ‘Lanning’, ‘LCS Pro’, ‘Reeder’, ‘SY Ingmar’, ‘Vida’, ‘WB Gunnison’ and the
breeding line ‘MT 1651’ all produced yields statistically equal to that of NS Presser CLP. Test weight of all spring
wheat entries was very good for this site, averaging over 60 lb/bu. Following a severe hailstorm in 2014, there were
consecutive years with no sawfly cutting or infestation in the spring wheat trial at Turner, and only minimal cutting in
2017 and 2018. Stand percent, plant height, yield, protein, falling number and sawfly cutting data for the 2018 Turner
dryland spring wheat trial are summarized in Table 1.
Comparable averages are calculated using a standard check variety when not all entries are present in a specific trial
for all years. Variety means are adjusted by multiplying the actual check mean by the ratio of the individual variety
mean compared to the check mean for the same years as tested. All varieties are then directly comparable to each
other when in the same nursery. A minimum of three years of data is necessary to be included in the comparable
average calculation. Nine-year comparable averages (2009-2018) for spring wheat seed yield and test weight at
Turner are summarized in Table 2, while nine-year comparable averages for sawfly cutting are summarized in Table 3.
Loring spring wheat yields averaged just under 33 bu/ac with NS Presser CLP, a 2-gene Clearfield spring wheat,
producing the highest yield at over 40 bu/ac (Table 4). Vida, at nearly 39 bu/ac, was the only other entry to produce a
seed yield statistically equal to that of NS Presser CLP. For the fourth consecutive year, sawfly cutting was virtually
nonexistent in the trial at the Loring site. Stand percent, plant height, yield, test weight, moisture, protein, falling
number and sawfly cutting data for the 2018 Loring dryland spring wheat trial are summarized in Table 4. Nine-year
comparable averages for spring wheat seed yield and test weight at Loring are summarized in Table 5, while nine-year
comparable averages for sawfly cutting are summarized in Table 6.
In 2013, off-station spring wheat trials were re-established near Loma. The late seeding date coupled with the lack of
timely precipitation following seeding, limited spring wheat yields and test weights. Seed yields averaged 32.8 bu/ac
(Table 7). A Syngenta variety, SY Ingmar, was the highest yielding entry at nearly 38 bu/ac. Brennan, SY Soren, and
two Montana breeding lines, ‘MT 1621’ and MT 1651, produced yields statistically equal to that of SY Ingmar. Due to
late seeding, sawfly damage in the spring wheat small plot scenario was low again this year, averaging only 2.6
percent cutting. Stand percent, plant height, yield, test weight, protein, falling number and sawfly cutting data for the
2018 Loma dryland spring wheat trial are summarized in Table 7. Six-year comparable averages for spring wheat
seed yield and test weight at Loma are summarized in Table 8, while six-year comparable averages for sawfly cutting
are summarized in Table 9.
The Chester area received early season moisture, resulting in great spring wheat establishment and prolific tillering to
set the trial up for high yield potential. However, lack of timely rainfall coupled with high temperatures from flowering
through seed set, had an adverse effect on the spring wheat. Seed yields averaged just over 38 bu/ac, while test
weights averaged less than 56 lb/bu (Table 10). Montana State University breeding line MT 1621 was the highest
yielding entry at just under 45 bu/ac. ‘MT 1651’, Brennan, ‘Egan’, Lanning, NS Presser CLP, ‘Oneal’, Reeder and Vida,
yields were statistically equal to that of MT 1621. Sawfly cutting in the small plot scenario averaged just over five
percent in 2018, however, there were three lines that were cut and lodged between 14 and 18 percent. Stand percent,
plant height, yield, test weight, protein, falling number and sawfly cutting data for the 2018 Chester dryland spring
wheat trial are summarized in Table 10. Five-year comparable averages for spring wheat seed yield and test weight at
Chester are summarized in Table 11, while five-year comparable averages for sawfly cutting are summarized in Table
12.
Summary:
Cropping environments for 2018 started out with an abundance of early snow and very good soil moisture recharge,
however, all spring cereal trial sites were seeded later than anticipated due to prolonged snow cover and wet soil
conditions throughout April. Although winter months were wetter than normal, spring and summer months during the
growing season were slightly warmer than average with drought conditions persisting across north central Montana.
Both Turner and Loring received near average rainfall for the year, however the precipitation events were not always
timely. The Turner site was seeded into a mechanical fallow field, as the producer is still dealing with soil drifts from a
windstorm in 2017. The Loma location was seeded into chemical fallow ground that had been minimally tilled to

eliminate potential weed issues. The Chester area also started out with excellent recharge soil moisture, and timely
spring precipitation resulted in a very good stand, and producing a high number of tillers. However, prolonged heat
and lack of moisture from flowering through grain fill, limited the seed yield and test weight of the spring cereals.
This work has been strongly supported by producers near each of the off-station locations, and by the Northern
Agricultural Research Center Advisory Council. With budget and other resources allowing, it is planned to continue
off-station cereal variety investigations in the five-county area. The Loring location is entering its twenty-fourth year,
and the cooperator and area producer interest and support has been outstanding. The Turner location is only 32 miles
from the Loring site, but growing conditions are quite different. Cooperator and producer support in the Big Flat area
has been outstanding through the years with 2018 marking 35 years at the present Turner site. Various winter and
spring cereal trials have been conducted with great producer support at the Chouteau County location, between Big
Sandy and Loma, since 1998. The Chester location was reestablished in 2014 following a prolonged absence of
uniform off-station spring cereal testing in Liberty County.
