Kanred was improved and distributed by the Kansas Experiment Station. Its name is suggestive of the characteristic of the wheat, a hard red winter wheat similar to Turkey Red and Kharkov. There is no question as to its value in Kansas as it has produced from two to six bushels greater yield than Turkey Red under similar conditions. This increase in yield is due to its rust resistance and its earliness, two characteristics needed for a wheat to yield well in that section of the United States. It also produces a fine flour and is in demand by the millers. Its value in Idaho is, to say the least, open to question. Its two outstanding characteristics that of rust resistance and earliness are not needed in Idaho where hard and winter wheat is grown.
Through the state are not favorable to rust and a few days difference in time of maturity does not materially affect the yield. Kanred has been tested in comparison with Turkey Red by the Washington Experiment Station at Pullman. Prof. E. G. Schafer has kindly furnished a statement of the yields for the past two seasons, seasons which were favorable for hard winter wheat. The conditions under which these tests were conducted are similar to those throughout the Palouse area. The yields are:

The Palouse area is not suited to the production of hard winter wheat and they should not be introduced. This area is badly handicapped by growing too much mixed grain and the introduction of  More wheat, especially hard red grains which, when mixed with Turkey Red, 30.5
