September 14 – Quality results are now available on the variety selection platform for the ryegrass trials at the Clanton Research and Extension Center (CREC) and the EV Smith Research Center (EVSRC).

  • Forage quality at the  CREC was reduced for the first harvest of the season. This can be attributed to the low-quality, dead plant material from the December freeze mixed with the higher-quality regrowth.

July 6

  • Quality results are available on the Variety Selection Platform for the wheat, oat, rye, & triticale OVTs at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.
    • For each harvest:
      • CP, ADF, NDF, & TDN
    • For Early Season, Late Season, & Total Season
      • CP, ADF, NDF, TDN, & RFQ
      • TDN Wt. (pounds of TDN/acre)
      • TDN Wt Top Group
      • CP Wt. (pounds of CP/AC)
      • CP Wt Top Group

    • Late season and season totals are available

April 27 

  • WREC wheat, triticale, oat, & rye:
    • 4th harvest yields are now available
    • Late season and season total yields are available.  These totals are subject to change if there is enough regrowth for a 5th harvest.
  • SMREC wheat, triticale, oat, & rye:
    • Variety specific images from the SMREC field day have been added.
      • Wheat, triticale and rye – all varieties
      • Oat – three varieties that have started to show recovery from the December freeze

April 12 – Yields are available from the first harvest of wheat, triticale and rye at the Sand Mountain Research and Extension Center (SMREC) in Crossville.  Yield data is not being reported on the SMREC oats due to a reduction in stand from December 2022’s freeze.

Yields are available for the second harvest of wheat, triticale, oats and rye at the EV Smith Research Center (EVSRC) in Tallassee.  Early season EVSRC yields are also available.  Harvest 1 yields for the EVSRC wheat and oats have been updated.

April 4 – Yields are available for the third harvest of wheat and rye at the Chilton Research and Extension Center (CREC) in Clanton.

March 24 – Yields are available for the third harvest of wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.

March 15 – Yields are available for the first harvest of wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the EV Smith Research Center (EVSRC) in Tallassee.

Yields are available for the second harvest of wheat and rye at the Chilton Research and Extension Center (CREC) in Clanton.  Early season yields (harvest 1 + 2) are available for the wheat and rye at the CREC.

February 22 –  Yields are available for the second harvest of wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.  Early season yields (harvest 1 + 2) are available for the wheat, triticale, oats, and rye at the WREC.  Additional harvests may effect early season totals moving forward.

February 20 – Yields are available for the first harvest of wheat and rye at the Chilton Research and Extension Center (CREC) in Clanton.

During the latter part of December 2022, Alabama experienced a severe cold snap.  Low temperatures remained in the teens for several days.  As a result, forage species exhibited varying amounts of cold damage.  Due to the significant amount of damage and lack of regrowth, the oat and triticale trials at CREC were not harvested for yield.

January 27 – Yields are available for the first harvest of wheat, triticale, rye, and oats at the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center (WREC) in Headland.
