Comments
When this Kansas State wheat variety has a good year, nothing else can touch it in terms of grain yield or forage production. Jagger has resistance to stripe rust, but can get hurt by winterkill and spring freeze injury. It is recommended that you never plant the whole farm to Jagger.
Jagger is a fast filler. It is a good variety for high-residue conditions because of its tan spot and Septoria resistance. Make sure it gets well established in the fall to help prevent winterkill. If it�s planted early, graze it to help hold it back in the spring.
