In the following tables, the column "$/a" was arrived at by calculating a gross per acre income for each variety using market price and protein premiums obtained from a local elevator in Williston on December 15, 1996. The base price for 14% protein wheat was $3.77. All varieties are compared to Amidon on a plus or minus $/a basis.
