Note: Grain yield and protein concentration were adjusted to 12% moisture content. * Three-year yield comparison includes 2025-2024, 2024-2023, and 2022-2021 growing seasons. Data from 2023-2022 is excluded due to the trial not being harvested as a result of extreme drought conditions. a: Shaded values are not statistically different from the highest value within a column. Double-dashes "--" = data not available.
