I was looking through the aggc seed summary to see what seed the most people grew last year.
1420 LaRue 22 entries
842 Eaton 19 entries
1068 Wallace 17 entries
1180 Daletas 16 entries
898 Knauss 15 entries
1446 Eaton 14 entries
1104 Hester 14 entries
1097 Beachy 14 entries
670 Daigle 14 entries
1370 Rose 13 entries
805 Pukos 13 entries
723 Bobier 13 entries
695 Handy 11 entries
1016 Daletas 9 entries
845 Bobier 9 entries
There were about 195 entries from seeds only 1 person grew last year

Here we go again. Missing from that list is the 1068 Wallace that didn't germinate for me & an 845 Bobier that split at 400 lbs est. Yet everybody that grew our lowly 281.6 managed at least 500 lbs on lates sets & got them to scales. LOL I'm growing my own from now on.

Tremor you have a very good point. What was percentage that were planted that didn't make it to the AGGC data base. To have accuracte stats you need accurate information.
Ron thanks for the info, it is interesting. I would draw from your information that the 1420 probally is the most likely not to split.

To make the list the seed 1)actually had to be planted 2)grown to over 500lbs 3)officially weighed at a reporting site. I would guess the number actually planted would be much higher. I was just trying to get a general idea what seedstocks genetics are getting passed on to next years seeds. I guess you could interpret from the list what seedstock is likely to make it to a weigh-off.
What surprised me is how many came from the 723 Bobier. I didn't know there were that many left to plant.
The 670 Daigle also surprised me. I see alot of people were trying that seed before Martin popped a 1200lber from it.

Remember a nice 1101 was grown off the 670 the yr. before.
The 670 should get a huge planting this yr.

There's more to it than that though Bill. The 1420 bore lot's of seeds that were freelly sent around to folks who actually grew it. Getting an 845 is like pulling teeth but if 100 were suddenly found by Bill in his sock drawer & sent out, darn near 50 would get planted.

The 1420 LaRue split in August at 1061 lbs for Gustavsson in Sweden. If you check his day 35 measurements(usually half way as far as weight is concerned) it could have gone way above 1200 lbs...but it did split.
