What did you think of Brandon red wheat this year. I'm thinking of switching our durum acres to red wheat next year because fusarium is out of control here in durum country. The risk in growing durum is just getting to high for me. A lot of our durum this year has 10% fuzz.

We had it side by side with Carberry
It was better yield , Color and grade .
Was 4 bus better
Maybe held a better grade partly because it was about 4 days later maturing and not as dry when the first rains hit . But regardless had virtually zero fuz and Carberry had a trace -
But I think if left out it can sprout slightly easier from what I hear from a local seed grower.
Basically if it's close you take itComment
