AAC Viewfield Wheat - Short with excellent yield potential

If you want to push wheat yields, but want a wheat that is resistant to lodging, then AAC Viewfield is the stand-up bet for the southern and the central prairies.

With both AC Stettler and Glenn in it's parentage, AAC Viewfield has the genetics to be a winner. Bred by Richard Cuthbert, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

Highlights

• Top of class in standability, easy to harvest
• Semi-dwarf and shortest CWRS available
• Very high yielding; up to 117%* of the check
• Intermediate resistance to FHB (fusarium head blight).
• Good sprouting resistance

How does Viewfield wheat compare to other wheat varieties:

It is tough to choose a spring wheat when there are many good varieties out in the market. An interesting study comparing 6 different spring wheat varieties (including AAC Viewfield) was completed in 2017 by Sheri Strydhorst, PhD., Agronomic Research Scientist, Barrhead, AB at Bon Accord and showed Viewfield as the highest yielding variety.

The study compares yield response to nitrogen and plant growth regulator treatments and can be found at this link: 2017 study at Bon Accord. (Please keep in mind that this location is north of Edmonton and therefore climatic conditions may be quite different than those in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan where the majority of our customers are located).
