The Ontario Cereal Crop Committee (OCCC) winter wheat and winter barley 2024 final performance trial data is now available at GoCrops.ca.

When considering decisions, it is best to use multi year data. Select varieties that perform well in your area across a number of sites and years. Many factors should be considered when choosing a variety, including: the farm location, winter survival, insect and disease resistance, lodging potential and yield. The Head to Head feature is an excellent way to compare and evaluate varieties side by side using the data points most important to you. Winter wheat quality parameters such as DON, test weight and falling number should also be considered when making variety selections. For more information on falling number for a specific variety, please speak to your winter wheat distributor.
