[QUOTE="franklin, post: 4675160, member: 1118"] Doesnt thresh. This is the 2nd year in a row. Something about the seed coats - either they are a bit thin or a bit delicate - leaves them just a bit sticky. The sample I have is, again, truely dreadful and will be going for a second spin round in the combine. Not worth it for the premium, and not as easy to market as the brown. We have had Juliet, Abacus, and one of the easi-cut (Dutchess or Altess) and they were all much of a muchness. Juliet is thicker and taller, and the combine driver prefers to cut a tall crop as it feeds into the header easier than having to use the reel, although I dont drive the combine so dont really know. The yellow yielded fine, but brown is just simpler. I dont know many other growers of yellow but I have had other mumblings of trickier threshing. And for a crop that can be *ahem* fun to combine, I dont need any extra fun. [/QUOTE]
