RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

•
•
Glenn – 2005 HRS release, N.D.’s
top variety – exceptional quality
Faller – offers elite yield potential
Divide, Alkabo and Tioga – durum
lines with improved yield and
agronomics and big improvement in
quality for customers
White Wheat – in process, great
domestic and international demand
if it performs like HRS
Biotech -- renewed interest from
private tech providers. Promises
good things for wheat. Biotech must
be part of the mix for wheat
producers in the future but need to
protect investment in germplasm
and access to varieties.
