Costello stood alright here, but like me, you weren’t happy with its yield. Graham stood and yielded. Definitely not a Gravity

im wondering why folks have had a poor experience with gravity, it stood fine here apart from round some electric poles , looked crap all winter improved as time went by and yielded the best that particular field has ever done in 30 odd years

What's yours ? I'm confused they're all pretty crap , and the more pgr you apply the worse they get.
skyscraper not a bit flat, yielded very wel lin fact a farm/field record, Kerrin 2nd wheat and Gravity 1st just odd bits down cant complain on yield. Lili all stood but a bit behind and a bugger to thresh but cheapest / acre to grow. Barrel stood but was a bit behind the main three but not by much we cut out a pgr but applied foliar potash found it benefits our crops in various ways

Should add that my Lili was well brackled, but then it was dead as dead can be. Straw this year has been incredibly poor and really bore the brunt of the extreme heat and dry.
