WH017JPC = Correlation was computed using genotypes LS means for WH score recorded in 2017 at UGA JPC farm
WH-JPC = Correlation was computed using genotypes LS means for WH score recorded for overall (3 years) at UGA JPC farm
WH017BVL = Correlation was computed using genotypes LS means for WH score recorded in 2017 at UGA Blairsville farm
WH-BVL = Correlation was computed using genotypes LS means for WH score recorded for overall (3 years) at UGA Blairsville farm
