[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 78129, member: 192"] Got 5ha in the ground at the minute with the view to use the harvested grain as seed to grow on as a replacement for Solstice. It was planted after pots in late oct and today looks as good as anything we have got. Its tillered out well from seed rate of 200kg/ha. Seed sample was atrocious like all bought in seed was last year but its looking ok at the moment. Its certainly not any better with regards to weeds and if anything the field is a bit dirtier with ryegrass/blackgrass than many other fields of Solstice. It had some Atlantis so we'll see what happens. If it doesn't do any better than Solstice this year I'll plant another 5ha again for a second look and then see. Its mate 'Crusoe' will be planted this autumn as well. Again just 5ha with the view its grown on for seed as on paper Edgar and Crusoe tick a lot of boxes for what I want out of my wheat crops.
