Minutes for WCC-81 Meeting, Portland, Oregon, September 30, 2003
Chairperson - Brady Carter; Vice Chairperson - Andrew Ross; Secretary - Deanna Nash
The meeting was called to order by Brady Carter at 5:05 pm.
Russ Karow was announced as the new Administrative Advisor taking over the position previously held by Jim Quick.
Brief verbal state crop condition reports were given. As this meeting was just after 2003 crop harvest and little data were available and as the next Committee meeting is scheduled for February 2004, it was decided that written reports for CY 2003 would be requested and provided at that meeting.
Jim Quick, past Administrative Advisor gave a brief update.
Scott Haley, Colorado State Univ. - Crop season was average with stripe rust and a new Russian Wheat aphid biotype as issues facing growers. The new aphid biotype can overcome existing variety resistance. 2003 is the first year for a Clearfield release in Colorado.
Ed Souza, Univ. of Idaho - Overall crop production was below average with winter wheats slightly above average. New releases include a Clearfield variety (ID587) and Jerome, a hard red release.
David Hole, Utah State Univ. - Acreage was up with yields at average levels. Problems with cereal leaf beetle are increasing and expanding to southwest Utah. Little rust was seen in the 2003 crop.
Craig Morris, USDA-ARS, Pullman, WA - The Western Wheat Quality Lab completed the 6th year of the genotype by environment report - a great resource of data on quality. This report is web-based. An array of basic and applied research activities are underway, many focused on quality factors.
Brady Carter, Washington State Univ. - Average crop yields are expected. Proteins levels are higher again this year. Several cultivars are ready for release by Washington. Work on the milling Collaborative test and on comparisons among the different experimental mills in the region are underway.
Jim Peterson, Oregon State Univ. - Average to below average yields are expected depending on the area of the state. The dryland areas of the Columbia Basin again suffered from lack of rainfall. ORCF 101, a Clearfield variety, is being released. Another Clearfield variety with different parentage is anticipated in 2004. Several unique quality varieties are under consideration for release.
