Stampede

1. Stampede is a synthetic variety with 228 parent clones. One hundred twelve parents were selected out of three year old forage yield plots for the deep set crown trait. This source material traces back to Answer, Apollo, and Dairyland experimentals. Dairyland experimentals trace back to Ranger and Vernal. One hundred sixteen parents were selected out of disease nurseries in Clinton and Marshfield, Wisconsin. This source material traces back to RamRod, ProCut II, Aggressor, Legacy, Precedent, Blazer XL, Starmaster, Zenith, DK122, Answer, MNP-D1, and Webfoot. Parent plants of the two germplasrns were interplanted in cage isolation to produce Breeder seed. The percent of germplasm sources are Ladak(25), M.varia(15), Turkistan(25), and Flemish(40).

2. Stampede is adapted to the North Central, East Central, and Great Plai
