  1. Limagrain Hard Red Spring Wheat (HRSW) Breeding Philosophy A commitment to select lines based on: • Grower Profitability #1 • Consistent Performance • Regional Adaptation • Built in “Genetic” Resistance • End User Functionality

  2. Gross Return $/ac for HRSW A function of several variables: Price - $/Bu MGE +/- local delivery basis Largest single effect every year, not under grower control Yield – Bu/acStrong positive effect every year %Protein vs.14% Moderate premiums or discounts, but varies from year to year Test Weight vs.58Lb. Minor effect “Fixed” schedule Grain Grading Factors; Falling number, DON, etc.

  3. 108 HRSW Lines 16 Check Varieties 92 Experimental Lines 2 Reps/Loc. in NNA/RCBD 7 Locations Yield 2 Locations % Protein 2011 Trial 1087 Location Ave. Yield vs. 2 Location Ave. Protein

  4. Gross Return $/ac vs. Yield and % Protein Long Term 10 Yr. Ave 2010 High Protein Premiums 2011 High Price/Low Premiums $4.25 Cash +/- 0.05 per 1/5th $6.35 Cash +/- 0.18 per 1/5th $8.20 Cash +/- 0.01 per 1/5th YIELD PROTEIN

  5. Gross Return $/ac with Diverse Price Relationships 2010 Good Price + High Protein Premium 2011 Great Price + Low Protein Premium Lines in the upper right quadrant should be most PROFITABLE over long run i.e. RB07, Glenn, Sabin and N10-0176 Outliers for YIELDi.e. N10-0556 and N10-0562 may be great, but only if they have adequate end-use quality Outliers for PROTEINi.e. N10-0218 may be good as specialty wheat's, varietal blends, or as parents in crosses to high yield or unadapted lines

  6. The Solution? Genetics Management Proper Seedbed and Planting Certified Seed….“It Pays” Seed Treatments Adequate Fertility (Nitrogen + Other Elements) Judicious Use of Other Inputs (Fungicides and Insecticides; as Needed, or as Part of a Production Plan) Harvest and Post-Harvest, Handling/Storage • Spread of Genetics • Slight Spread of Maturity • Good Resistance to Disease • Good Resistance to Lodging • Adequate End-Use Quality • Consistent Over Years and Sub Regions • Best Mix of High Yield and Moderately High Protein • Better NUE

  7. Wheat Production Forum Your Current Wheat Research Activities(We just would like a very broad overview – detailed data not necessary) • Breeding for Maximum Grower Profit • Breeding for Consistent Performance (Regional Adaptation, Improved Lodging Resistance, etc.) • Breeding for Increased Disease Resistance (FHB, BLS, Rusts, etc.) • Breeding for Acceptable End-Use Quality

  8. What Remains to Be Done in Your Current Research(We just would like a very broad overview – detailed data not necessary) • Interaction of Genetics and Management Practices (Fertility Trials) • Greater Incorporation of MAS into Breeding Program Flow…Understand Basis for N Utilization In-Planta Capture/Partitioning • Exploration of NUE Traits • Just Getting into a “Routine” with Equipment on Board

  9. Your Thoughts on Gaps inOur Wheat Production Knowledge(How do we identify what we don’t know in order to discover new researchable questions?) • Trends in Long-Term Price/Protein Relationships • Trends in On-Farm Inputs vs. Profitability • NUE How Much Natural Variance is there for N Capture/Partitioning, What Are the Mechanisms for Making Grain Protein • NUE Novel Solutions – GM Wheat
