A new PB field for me today. Harvested the 81 Wolf x 152.5 Deletas since I had a really nice 162 MacKinnon progeny that rotted in the field before I could get it to scale. Was expecting a 100 lber but got a nice surprise when it went 122.2 on my postal scale. Since that was a personal best I took it to the fertilizer plant to be weighed on their certified scale and it was 122 ( lost a couple ounces on the ride. lol)
Went 16% heavy. Not sure if I have had a field go that heavy before. This seed will definitely get a spot next year in my field plot.
I think the 162 would have been heavier but I will never know.
