Comments

Certified seed of this new AgriPro variety should be available for fall 2003. Cutter is a hard red wheat well adapted to most of Kansas and Oklahoma. It has shown excellent yield potential so far in test plots, and has very good overall disease resistance. Cutter should do well in many types of cropping systems and rotations. It can get tall under good conditions and may lodge. Cutter can also shatter if not harvested on time.
