  * Indicates varieties that do not differ significantly in yield or test 
    weight from the best variety based on Fisher’s protected LSD (P=0.05).
  
  † Yields are based on a 60 pound standard bushel weight, adjusted to 
    13.0 percent moisture content of the grain.
  
  ‡ Lodging rated on a 0 to 9 scale where 0 = no lodging and 9 = plants 
    in the plot are completely flat.
  
  § Because of persistent cool, wet weather significant levels of ergot 
    were detected in the harvested grain.  Presence of ergot was assessed 
    as the number of ergot bodies in a 4,000 kernel sample from each plot. 
    Analysis indicated differences among varieties were significant.
  
  ¶ Means were not significantly different at P=0.05.
