HRS Wheat |
AC Barrie |
- PBR certified
- very high yield
- high protein
- short, strong straw
Hard red spring wheat that has performed very well in all areas of the Prairies. Highest yielding in almost all trials and in all areas. Lodging resistance is good. Stronger straw and good shattering resistance makes straight cutting crop easier. Ideal height and stronger straw makes straw management easier. Good resistance to both bunt and loose smut reduces the need for seed treatment to control these diseases. Good leaf and stem rust resistance. Variety also has larger seed for more vigorous early growth. 1-2 days later than Katepwa. A truly outstanding variety.

HRS Wheat |
AC Domain |
- high protein potential
- high yield
- good weathering resistance
High yielding variety. This hard red spring wheat offers very good lodging resistance leading to faster and easier harvests. Weathering resistance similar to Columbus helps to maintian grade. Good resistance to bunt and loose smut reduces the need for seed treatment to control these diseases. Very good resistance to leaf rust and good resistance to stem rust.

Superb (BW252) |
- 15% higher yield than AC Barrie
- Fair resistance to Fusarium
- Resistant to prevalent leaf & stem rust
- shorter, stronger straw than AC Barrie
- Later maturing than AC Barrie
Superb is a hard red spring wheat from the Cereal Research Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada at Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is a very exciting new variety that yields about 15% more than AC Barrie and is resistant to prevalent races of leaf and stem rust. It will probably receive a rating of "fair" resistance to fusarium, the same as AC Barrie. Superb has shorter, stronger straw and has more resistance to sprouting than AC Barrie but is a couple of days later than AC Barrie, which will be a concern in some areas. Stock seed is being multiplied this summer and will be offered to members this fall. Hard White Spring Wheat |
AC Snowbird (BW264) |
- Yield 102% - 106% of AC Barrie
- Maturity + 1.5 days to AC Barrie
- Good lodging
- Resistant to leaf rust
AC Snowbird is a hard white spring wheat, one of two new varieties in a new class of wheat to western Canada. AC Snowbird possesses good lodging resistance (2.8), similar to AC Barrie (2.5). Snowbird is resistant to leaf rust and moderately resistant to stem rust, loose smut and root rot. Snowbird is (99cm) similar in height to AC Barrie (98 cm). Expected date of release fall 2002.

AC Emerson |
- tolerance to chlorosis
- good seeding vigour
Medium maturity similar to Norlin. Medium to large seed. Especially well suited to heavy soils.
- Developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Morden. Flax |
CDC Bethume |
- very high yield
- good straw hight
The highest yielding variety. Better lodging resistance than most varieties. Medium-large seed. Note well suited to late seeding.
- Developed by the University of Saskatchewan Flax |
Taurus |
- Excellent yield
- Excellent Harvestability
Taurus provides excellent yields, especially in the black soil zones. Taurus yielded 114% of the check in SK provincial trials, 109% in AB and 110% in MB. Taurus provides a medium height flax with excellent lodging resistance. Taurus is easy to handle and combines easy. |
Winter Wheat |
CDC Clair |
- high yield
- good winter hardiness
- short, strong straw
Higher yields than CDC Kestrel means better returns. Good winter survival improves chances of good crop. The shorter, stronger straw of this "tall semi-dwarf" is a significant advantage over Norstar. Improved stem rust resistance makes it better adapted to Manitoba. Higher protein levels than CDC Kestrel will increase returns and increase demand in export markets.

UM 5089 |
| "UM 5089 is an awned hard red winter wheat. UM 5089 has high yield potential, good winter survival, good straw strenght, superior test weight and excellent resistance to stem and leaf rust. This variety is well adapted to all areas of the western prairies." |
Oats |
Riel |
- preferred by millers
- excellent test weight
High yielding variety with light tan hull. Low % hull means higher feed value for livestock producers. Good lodging and disease resistance.
- Developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Winnipeg. |
Peas |
Alfetta |
- PBR certified
- has performed remarkably well in co-op registration trials in Western Canada
- responds well to irrigation
- stands extremely well for ease of harvesting
Alfetta is a medium-to-large seeded yellow cotyledon pea with extremely good yield potential. Alfetta matures three days earlier than Express. Alfetta's straw length is short to medium - approximately 70 to 80 centimetres - and very erect, which allows for easy harvesting.
- Developed by Cebeco Zaden B.V. |
Peas |
Eiffel |
