This report provides independent and unbiased information for the evaluation of small grain varieties available in Pennsylvania. The small grain evaluation program provides farmers, seed companies, and university personnel with information on the relative performance of small grain varieties grown under Pennsylvania conditions. It should be used to supplement other sources of information, such as seed industry performance tests, other independent testing data, and on-farm performance records, when making variety selection decisions.

In the 2021-2022 growing season, a new trial was added with hybrid rye, triticale, and rye. This will give growers the opportunity to compare alternative small grain species. These results can be found below under "Hybrid Rye, Triticale, and Rye". Unfortunately, the Lancaster(Landisville) location was not reported due to in field variability.
