NOVEMBER 2015 7 to designate 29 varieties of CWRS and Canada Prairie Spring Red CPSR wheat to another class as of Aug. 1 2017. In an evaluation of varieties against the revised quality parameters for the CWRS and CPSR classes the CGC deter- mined these varieties do not meet the quality characteristics of their current designated class namely appropriate protein and gluten levels. The new interim wheat class forms a kind of general purpose milling wheat class that can be used by millers Merryweather says. I believe we will develop a significant market for this class of wheat and Elgin will fit into it nicely he says. The NDSU Research Foundation has exclusively licensed the Elgin ND wheat variety in Canada to FP Genetics. Elgin ND is also protected by Plant Variety Protection in the United States and as a result can only be sold as a class of certified seed and by variety name. First sales of certified Elgin ND will be available to commercial growers in 2016 according to Merryweather. We dont have all the results in yet but were hearing 55 to 75 bushel-per-acre yields which is every bit as good as any of the other wheats in the market like Prosper and Faller he says. According to North Dakota variety trial results for 2012 Elgin NDs yield beat five of the top six most popular varieties for the year in eastern North Dakota. The average yield in 2012 for Elgin ND across eastern North Dakota locations was 62.6 bushels per acre compared with 58.2 bushels for Barlow the variety with the most acres planted in the state in 2012. Elgin ND has protection against the new leaf rust race Lr21 although it still shows some susceptibility according to FP Genetics. Most commercial vari- eties available do not have resistance to leaf rust race Lr21. Elgin ND is also rated in the United States as moder- ately resistant to scab or Fusarium head blight.
