I'm not a child. Give me 50 quid instead & I'll complete your survey.

 

[Phil P]

Done.

 

[yellow belly]

We need varieties that harvest earlier
obm resistant and a 7 for septoria and 9 for yellow rust

 

[moretimeforgolf]

We need varieties with more diverse breeding. Too many have Hereford or Cougar in their genetics. They start with a 9 for yellow rust then they break down after a year or two. We need consistent performers not ‘flash in the pans’!

 

[moretimeforgolf]

Done

 

[teslacoils]

Cordiale with a bushier growth habit and better disease resistance

 

[ih1455xl]

More group 1 wheat with German E quality

 

[Worsall]

Deeper rooting please. Varieties of the 90's had a root depth twice of current options. Not only do deeper roots scavenge better, they reduce diffuse pollution and improve carbon sequestration. Win all round.

 

[David.]

We need varieties that are not the Great White Hope one year, and are then buried without a trace after they break down in three years, I actually don't mind trying new vars, but in all honesty I have seen about 8 hopefuls come to nothing and have only just dropped Viscount.

 

[PSQ]

Done.

Q49: Can you give us some examples of social media accounts of business’ or farming influencers you find interesting?

A: Farmers don't generally like 'influencers', as anyone vain enough to want to be called an 'influencer' will probably be an evangelical arsehole.

 

[yellowbelly]

Aaaahh, plant breeders - ever since they were invented (I assume they must have been invented ) they've been telling us that their new wonder variety yields 10% better than their last one which was 10% better than the one they had 2 years before, which was 10% better than the one that was 10% better than the one that was 10% better than Maris Huntsman that was 10% better than Cappelle which was a sh!t load better than Squareheads Master.
With all them 10%'s, FFS, we should all need sheds the size of aircraft hangers.
While the reality is that most new wonder varieties turn out to be the next Rothwell Perdix - good for a year or two then broken down to yellow rust

 

[teslacoils]

After the success of Graham, could you consider KWS Bernard or KWS Malcolm for your next variety?

[to be read in the voice of Humphrey Lyttelton]

The first in a series of farming adverts that you'll never read in the Farmers Weekly:
- Samantha, a new variety of wheat that 'just loves to go down'...

 

[teslacoils]

Hillary - with specific recommendation for gluten strength, the choice for big baps and firm buns.

 

[teslacoils]

Canesten - unbeatable resistance to fungal stem based diseases.

 

[casper74]

We need varieties that will be earlier to harvest, and bigger bolder grain particular barley and more straw ( can you tell I feed cattle )

 

[bobk]

Nitrogen fixing wheat with high disease resistance please , and perennial

 

[David.]

With strong inbred alleopathy against blackgrass.
