^x Agronomic regions: NE = Northeast; NC = North Central; Trans = Transition; SE = Southeast; SW = Southwest; UW/Mtn = Upper West/Mountain; and Pac = Pacific.

^y Within a row, values followed by the same letter are not significantly different from one another. Letters denote significance at the 90% confidence level.
