THE Anderson family's 2009 crop of EGA Gregory provided them with an opportunity to assess the variety's dryland and irrigated performance.
The Andersons - Wayne, Peter and Jayne - farm at Arcadia, near Kings- thorpe on the Darling Downs.
Immersion Watch Their first season with EGA Gregory started well, with planting done into a full moisture profile and boosted by timely September rain.
Despite enduring two hailstorms and a dry finish, Peter Anderson said the variety returned a solid performance.
"The hailstorms at the end of the season took about 20 per cent off the harvest, and although it didn't make prime hard we were quite happy with the Gregory," Mr Anderson said.
The Andersons planted dryland and irrigated crops of Gregory, with both yield tested for entry into the Toowoomba Show crop competition.
The Gregory yield tested at approximately 5.9t/ha (irrigated) and 3.9t/ha (dryland).
The average harvest yields across the whole farm were 4.9t/ha (irrigated) and 3.45t/ha (dryland).
Although the Andersons had grown a chopard Fake seed crop of Longreach Crusader in 2008, this season was the family's first growing EGA Gregory.
"I had heard good Fake Chanel Handbags reports about it and it fitted the early window due to the cold weather we get in early June," Mr Anderson said.
The irrigated crop of EGA Gregory was double cropped out of soybeans and had a full profile of moisture at planting.
This was followed by approximately 20cm of irrigation through the centre pivot during the crop's life.
Two top dresses of urea at 100kg each were applied in front of the irrigation.
