Early vigour wheat for DD

rusty

Member
I am looking for recommendations for winter wheat varietys with early vigorous growth for direct drilling on an upland farm. I have 26 acres of first wheat to go into burnt off intensive grassland and 30 acres of continuous wheat that has been mucked and one pass with a short disc. I have used Leeds for the last 3 years but chap who does agronomy thinks it's becoming outclassed now. Looking at recommended lists can't find any info on early vigour. And suitability for late sowing.
I intend to drill 3rd week of September but both blocks of ground are over 1050ft but nice limestone soil with plenty of fertility.
