Compiled by OSCIA, with financial support from the Middlesex Wheat Producers, W. G. Thompson, Pioneer, Pro Seeds, Advantage Seeds and C & M Seeds. Thanks to all co-operators for sending in their data. We need more trials! It takes at least 25 comparisons to get valid data. Put in a plot! How else do we learn??
