However, deer predation on the wheat head caused considerable variation in performance among plots within the test.  After careful analysis and review of this data, it is the opinion of the editors that the results of this trial may notaccurately reflect the performance potential of all test entries. Since this data could be misleading if used in making decisions concerning variety selection, we have chosen not to present them in this publication.
