We have had exceptional dryland yields on our Wildfire Winter Wheat with yields up to 101 bu/acre in 2020 and we continue to get feedback from various customers about how happy they have been with their Wildfire yields on dryland and irrigation. Wildfire continues to impress us and just offers so many benefits to our operation by capturing spring moisture, getting a jump on weeds and insects, and spreading out our workload.
Wildfire has a bronze color in the field
The stats on AAC Wildfire were compelling enough to get us back into the Winter Wheat business. Wildfire has excellent yield and very good winter survival (as was proven to us in seasons with little snow cover and a cold spring). It has a big leg up on other varieties with it's stripe rust disease resistance. Straw strength is good but not quite as good as Gateway or Elevate. Wildfire has a big future in Alberta because of it's yield and quality package. Get a head start on weeds and take advantage of early spring moisture, by choosing Wildfire Winter Wheat.
