AgriPro Central Plains
Research Efforts Develop “Superior Genetics”
AgriPro is leading the way in the development and delivery of superior wheat seed genetics in North America. From our Junction City, Kansas, research center each year more than 2,000 new experimental lines are generated and tested across 25 research and testing sites in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. Only the very best of these experimental lines are advanced as potential AgriPro varieties.
“Locally Grown” Distribution System
Your best source of information on wheat varieties is your nearest
AgriPro Associate. With their years of experience and expertise in
wheat, they can assist you in choosing the right wheat variety for
your soil types and management practices. AgriPro Associates are
your best source for consistently high quality wheat seed produced
locally.
Consistent Performance
Because they are well adapted and bred for consistent performance, AgriPro varieties offer high-yield potential, good test weights and high-quality grain. Wheat producers like the consistency that AgriPro varieties provide under a wide range of conditions.
The Value of Certified Seed
A Kansas State University Extension study* completed in 2001 shows that with the market price of wheat at $2.50 or higher, certified seed use gives a positive return over bin run seed with just a 2 bushel per acre increase.
You can run the numbers for your operation using this Certified Seed vs. Bin Run Calculator (Microsoft Excel file).
Most past studies comparing Certified Seed with bin run seed show at least an increase of 3 bushel per acre for Certified Seed.
Certified Seed doesn’t cost…IT PAYS!
*(For a complete copy of this study contact the Kansas State University Extension Service and ask for publication MF-2498.)
Spread Your Risk
• Always plant at least three varieties
• Always plant a range of genetics
• Always plant a range of maturities
• Most importantly, always pick varieties that match specific
soil conditions, management practices and offer the best protection
from disease and problems common to your growing area

that are suited best for your wheat farming operation
