he Canadian Prairies. It combines high grain yield with high grain pro
tein concentration in a short strawed background. It has improved resi
stance to leaf spots compared with the check cultivars, and resistance
to prevalent races of leaf rust, stem rust, loose smut, and common bu
nt. AC Elsa is eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Spring wheat.
