AG Icon is a top performing variety from K-State that is broadly adapted for Kansas, Oklahoma, and northern Texas and is one of the most dominating varieties across the state yield trials. Excellent straw strength, resistance to leaf rust, and intermediate to stripe rust. We see AG Icon quickly becoming a top variety with its drought tolerance in 2018 and top end performance since 2016.

Top performing variety in 2018 and 2019 in most of the state of KS into north central Oklahoma. WB 4269 brings outstanding scab tolerance at Everest head scab tolerance levels. Where we saw WB 4269 shine was planted late behind soybeans. Its ability to tiller and put on big time yields with a limited seed rate really stood out in production fields this year. Great on stripe rust and leaf diseases makes WB 4269 a great variety. WB 4269 is a Certified Seed Only (CSO) or single use variety by patent. What this means is you must buy new seed each year which is required by its patent. No saved seed will be strictly enforced by WestBred.

This variety brings solid yield performance with outstanding head scab tolerance for central and eastern Kansas acres. Good straw strength, average overall disease package with moderate resistance to stripe rust, and stem rust. We saw the leaf rust package slip in 2019. Excellent against wheat streak mosaic virus. Three years of top performance in north central Kansas and exceptional milling and baking quality, we see this as a great choice.

Top performer in 2018! WB 4458 has excellent yield potential, straw strength, and is very good on acid soils for southern KS into Oklahoma. WB 4458 is a medium maturity with very good shatter tolerance, drought stress tolerance, and can be planted across a wide geography and soil types. WB 4458 is a large seeded variety that doesn’t have a lot of tillering but responds with head size and test weight. Avoid late October planting. Excellent protein scores for premium potential.

One of the hottest varieties on the market place still today. Big time yields, very good agronomic package, and stress tolerance allows WB Grainfield to be one of the best all around varieties on the market today. Not many varieties have had more consistent performance at such a high level across the state than WB Grainfield. Heading date suggests medium late but finishes quick to come in at a medium maturity which makes WB Grainfield an excellent fit for all Ohlde customers. Good protein scores for premium potential.

A medium early maturity with an outstanding disease package combined with excellent agronomic traits. AG Gallant will be limited in its movement into south central Kansas and Oklahoma where areas are prone to acid soils. Resistance to stripe rust, powdery mildew, soil borne, spindle streak, BYD, and head scab make this a superior fit through central Kansas north into Nebraska.

This is a NEW medium-late variety with excellent yield potential and overall very good disease package. WB 4699 holds winter dormancy well and has exceptional straw strength. To help maximize grain protein, a fertility management program like VariMax is recommended with in season applications. WB 4699’s ability to add on late spring tillers stood out in 2019 spring. We see WB 4699 being a #1 hit in northcentral KS with AG Icon. WB 4699 is a CSO variety.
