Got a block of ground going into continuous wheat, and looking for suitable varieties, going to go with Gleam on some of it but want another variety to partner it.
Looking for a good easy-care variety which isn’t too late, with decent specific weight
Ground is heavy clay and goes cold and wet quickly once weather turns.
Been told to avoid Extase as it’s beginning to break down

I’m going to have a big block ( for me) of second wheat on heavy land this year. Getting the variety right will be a challenge . Got a good looking first wheat Firefly on it. Wondered if Firefly would do it again .
