Langin was the most popular variety seeded in Colorado, for the second consecutive year, planted on 20.7 percent of the acreage for the 2021 crop compared with 20.1 percent for the 2020 crop.
Avery was the second most popular variety, accounting for 14.2 percent of the acreage.
Byrd maintained third place by accounting for 13.1 percent of the acreage.
