 In this segment, I'm going to talk about small grain varieties. We're going to talk about barley, derm wheat, and the spring wheat varieties and kind of the what has done well out here in the southwest North Dakota. Our first crop will be barley. As you've been to the tours in the past, there's kind of been a change in that in the malting industry where all is really wanted is two row barleys, and actually this year the only six row barley we have in the trials tradition, kind of a long term chap, still kind of a popular variety for some of the malters, but they actually all the industry, even the you know the domestics are switching over to two rows. As far as what's done well out here in the western part of the state, Indy Genesis is the variety to actually that when we look over as far as three-year averages, Genesis actually has been the variety that actually has the top yield, but with that also has quality. It has really good plump values and also will be the lowest protein, which is what they're looking for in the malting industry is actually lower protein. So this variety kind of has it all. It is adapted well out here, does good yields, but also has good quality to where it actually has good plump values and good protein percents. There has been other entries into this trial. The companies, you know, Bush-Aggre and Limergreen have stuck some other things in here that actually have yielded good out here, but just haven't had that quality, especially with the protein. They're often at least a percent higher in protein than Genesis is. So when I look at a variety that's adapted for out here, Indy Genesis is the one I'm going to recommend for barley. So the next crop we're going to talk about is Derm wheat. We had a couple new releases in 2017, Indy Grano, Indy Rivland out of the Indy SU programs. Indy Grano was released for the North Central Plutter estate because it did well at the Minot location. Rivland is a variety that has done very well out west. Now, both of these varieties are low, cadmium accumulating varieties, which isn't really an industry for the domestics, but is always concerned as far as exporting into Europe. Canada has a variety called strong-filled, which is low cadmium. There's always been some concern. They might lower the amount of cadmium they allow. We have soils sometimes we can have high cadmium accumulation in our Derm. These two are low. Rivland has done well out here in the west. It yields the same as Joppa, but it also has really better, even a little bit better quality than Joppa. So it actually has good induced quality. It actually has good protein. It actually has better scab tolerance than many of the other Derms. So we're still not anywhere the level we are with springweeds. If we get a year like last year where we're having a lot of rainfall at that flowering time, Indy Rivland is still going to be looking at that fungicide application. But if you're looking at switching Derm varieties, Rivland is the one that shines out here west and the one I would look at switching for. Another interesting thing we did see last year at the Dickinson Station, he gets all his protein samples done at the Southwest Green Derm Turnable. And he actually sent in the samples. They just have plot numbers on it. When he went to pick up the results, he commented, well, these three actually had really highest quality. Just looked far better than everything else. And we know last year was kind of crummy as far as quality. And when he looked up what those plot numbers were, those were all the Indy Rivland plots. So it's one last year that for whatever reason actually held its quality the best also when we got in a little tough climate. So just another aspect looking like another reason to recommend Rivland for our region. Okay, the next crop we're going to talk about is our springweight varieties. And this one becomes a little more difficult. We have a lot of new varieties every year. It's not uncommon for me to have 8, 12 new varieties a year. I kind of looked it up. Over the last four years, we've actually had 35 new varieties released for the Northern Plains. So this starts to look a whole lot more like corn and soybeans anymore. There's a lot of information to sift through and look for. So this is actually where you're going to be looking where that information and that guide, that variety guide that we put out every year on springweight that has all the yields from all the locations but also has their disease ratings or quality ratings. And you can look for information on that. I know last year people were looking for falling numbers information or like, is there falling numbers, info on varieties? Yes there is. It's in this publication. We actually do get that quality samples that it is a year behind but they actually are some differences between the varieties, how they naturally respond as far as falling numbers. So anyway, I kind of got the stakes lined out here. Varieties we're going to talk about. I didn't put them in front of the plot because we'd have to do a lot of jogging around to get to them because we have 53 varieties out here this year, somewhere along those lines. So I just kind of wanted to highlight here. The first one I have on there, that LCS trigger, I just put that on there because this is the top yielding variety that we've had up this location. The downside to that, very low protein. It's actually one they released for the eastern part of the state but they discovered actually that it did well out west. And it does yield very well. It just does not have protein. Then kind of this NIST group I have in here, this is kind of those group where it's kind of yield or yield and protein. Shelly is one out of Minnesota medium maturity, has a good disease package, monitors listen as far as a scab. And it's actually been one that's had really good yields, kind of average protein. So maybe a little more on the yield side, a little more average on the protein. LANG, that is actually another one from Minnesota. Another medium, early maturity, medium height, has a really good disease package, has good test weight in protein. Probably the yielding will just slightly less than Shelly but it's going to have a little bit higher in protein. Now this LANDing is an interesting one. Actually, it's actually had really good yields. The 2018 is one of our top varieties out here. Average as far as protein, it does have high gluten content. And what's interesting about that one, there's a couple things. One thing, it has a gene in it for longer stay green. So it's one of them as that green mature as it's supposed to hold its green a little longer which hopefully leaves some better green feel. This also has some aluminum tolerance. So when we get up here closer like that New England up at a Dickinson area where we're having some low pH soils, this was one that looks like it hopefully responds a little better when we have those low pH soils that we're having to deal with. Psyrockford, that is a Sogenta agropro variety that's targeted to the west or not here. Good as fall or as full or disease. Okay, as far as scab, good protein. Low less in yield but it does have that good protein value. And then that last one there is LNG, NDSU variety. That's actually been around for a little bit out here but this guy continues to shine out here. Especially when we have a dry year like this one I expect to actually see this perform well again. Even last year you'll see it was above the average. You know year in and year out it's a variety that's got good yield and has good protein to it. So that's what I said, that's kind of my group that's kind of that yield protein. This next group here, this is our high quality weeds. That ND Froberg, that actually is a new release out of the program. Actually it's just a July 2020 release just coming out of that program. What kind of target it actually has a Glenn. What we're looking at this one, it's a high quality variety, light Glenn, but it's going to yield a four to five bushel better than Glenn what I've seen in my trials. It's not going to be at the top end like it is at the trial there but it is going to have good protein, good quality characteristics. I've only had it a couple of years out here so we'll see how that responds. You know over at Long Hall, if you actually are interested in seeing it and it's something bigger than a drill step, I actually have one of my two acre blocks planted to Froberg and I'll have that a sign on that and it'll be off airport road, you can take a look at that come to the center. ND VIP Pro, that's actually a little bit earlier release out of the ND SU program. Also a very high quality wheat, it's probably then it's usually average or slightly bow as far as yield but its name stands for vitreous kernel high protein so once again look at it at a high quality wheat. Maybe it doesn't have that top end yield potential but actually is a consistent performer out here. And then Bowles has actually went out of Minnesota. This consistently is the highest protein variety in the trial. It does not have that yield but it does have really good quality. If I am actually really going for protein that's the variety that's going to bring me the protein. Like I said it is always the top protein. You know I have 50 varieties in this trial and this guy will be at the top. Now these last ones here just some unique characteristics. That to Si Longmere that's actually a new one from Sojenta that is a full solid stem variety. And I know we've had pockets where we're seeing soft fly come up again and this variety actually is performed well out here and when I look over results it's significantly better as far as yield than mott. The last kind of our best variety several years ago released when we hit soft light. That variety has been around 10 years or better. So Longmere I think is one you can look at if you know you're going to have some soft light concerns. And like I said it looks to me like that's kind of our best yielding option as far as a solid stem type variety. And then this last one here actually this SY-611 CL2. That is a Clearfield 2 gene variety. I haven't seen a lot of need for that out of here. This is one where if you're looking at that beyond the on there that gives me some grass control options for those wild oats, for those pox tails those kind of things. It's not something I'm going to use every year. I think it's something I'm going to be targeted where I have fields with a problem. The other thing about this variety actually it has been one of the top form varieties out here as far as yield. Its protein's been slightly bro average. Like I said I see that one just kind of a niche for where people are growing. I think that we're good too. We have some new things that maybe we only have a year on them so far that I want to see how they perform a little better out here. But we'll be looking at it once again I think we probably have about ten new varieties in this trial again this year and we'll see how hopefully things perform. Like I said looking at it's going to be a tough year but we also have to see how these things perform in drought. So hopefully like I said look for that opportunity. Thank you.
