AAC Starbuck VB is a very high yielding semi-dwarf spring wheat with good lodging resistance and is rated MR to Fusarium head blight. AAC Starbuck VB is also tolerant to the orange wheat blossom midge.

AAC Starbuck VB is well-adapted to the wheat growing regions across North Dakota, Eastern Montana, and Northwest Minnesota.

Certified seed of AAC Starbuck VB will be sold as a varietal blend made up of 90% AAC Starbuck and 10% AAC Brandon. AAC Brandon provides a refuge area for non-virulent midge to survive at low levels, thereby extending the useful life of the Sm1 midge tolerant gene. AAC Starbuck will be marketed as certified seed only (CSO). This method will maintain the midge resistance going into the future.
