We find Nelson has performed consistently well over several years and cheaper to grow than other quality wheat varieties. Makes the protein easier than other varieties too for which Heygates will pay a Premium over Group 1 for any loads over 14%. Probably the best all round disease resistance, the lowest input requirements and consistently high protein. In these times of high input costs there’s all the more reason to consider Nelson…..it’s been about longer than all of the RecommendedList Group 1 varieties which in itself tells a story.

I've got some Nelson in the ground this year. Extase levels of fungicide input probably too much, and I have an N trial to see where we need to be. Best looking crop on the farm atm.
