Probably a good reason why it isn’t being done!
Do you think just growing 1 variety of wheat is a risk. Do some variations do better some years with weather conditions than other. I have stuck to one per year for ease and only have 1 shed for wheat but I will have a 2nd she's for wheat next harvest.
Would you know milling as a 2nd wheat and...

Arable novice here.
What are the benefits of growing triticale in an arable rotation?
Is it a breakcrop with wheat?
How cheap is it to grow, and what yield would you expect from land that would normally do 3.5 tonne per acre wheat?
