Jagger made the biggest gains in the west central and southwest districts. The KSU maintained variety 2137 ranked second over all, with 23.1 percent of the acreage. It ranked first or second in all districts except for the southwest, where it was third. TAM 107 remained in third position, but dropped to 6.3 percent of the acreage State-wide. Ike moved up to fourth place with 4.1 percent of the acreage, but dropped 1.4 percent from last year. The fifth most popular variety was Karl and improved Karl with 3.5 percent of the State's acreage. The KSU maintained variety 2163 ranked in the top five varieties in all but the western districts of the State, and accounted for 2.3 percent. Seventh was AGSECO 7853, with 1.5 percent. New to the top ten are Dominator, with 1.4 percent, and TAM 110, with 1.3 percent. Larned remained in the top ten, with 1.2 percent.
