Initial results from independent tests:

Crusoe
13.22 protein
350 Hag
76 kghl
16.1% moisture
9.63t/ha grain (weighbridge)
6.84t/ha straw (weighbridge)

Edgar
12.52 protein
355 Hag
77 kghl
16.2% moisture
9.56t/ha grain (weighbridge)
6.74t/ha straw (weighbridge)

No big yields here and I’m surprised we’ve managed the above as the crops looked very average all year.

11.8 protein
175 hagberg
75kg bushel - after drying 77 and a bit.
Cut at 17.5 percent moisture last week.

11.26t/ha first wheat after three year break. We've had an inch of rain since then and look at the hagberg already! Was tall. Good for a try and looked decent but won't be growing it next year.

Had 225kg nitrogen .

Good result for the year, well done.
Blend the two if possible.

Did these not receive digestate? I remember you having very high proteins after it.
