South Dakota State University is releasing a new hard red winter wheat variety to seed producers that combines high yield with high protein and drought tolerant traits.
In field trials conducted across three growing seasons, SD Vivian had the highest average yield in the central and western portions of the state and the third-highest yield in the eastern portion of the state compared to nearly two dozen varieties.
The protein composition of SD Vivian outperformed nearly two-dozen varieties based on data collected from more than 30 locations around South Dakota over a three-year span.
