[QUOTE="nxy, post: 8776104, member: 466"] We tried them a few years ago but soon gave up on them. The recommended seed rate was so low that the crops looked awful coming up, they did tiller well enough to almost catch up but then never really did yield as well as non hybrid types. I wonder what they would be like at normal sowing rates but the cost would be frightening. On our lightest land we stick to triticale and rye which we find far more reliable on poor land. Wheat varieties here are classified by how early they come to ear, The variety Extase which I believe is popular in the UK for example is really only recommended north of the Loire. Its too late coming into ear for the warmer drier south. [/QUOTE]
