'Quality' seed

[snarling bee]

Just had some 'Quality 'wheat seed delivered. The bags look about the size of barley seed bags and the 1000 grain weight is 40. I'm not sure what quality they are on about, but it isn't 'best' or 'top'.
I had 5 t delivered, I asked the driver if he would take a tonne back as it was not required in terms of seed number. But the I changed my mind as the vigour is probably crap and the current weather and forecast will mean later than planned drilling (if at all).

I would just like to receive some seed

but there seems a few threads with seed in the 30 and 40 for tgw

remember harvest 2012? i drilled the worst sample of seed i have ever seen for a custoumer, i also harvested it one of the best crops i have been in , it might have been shriveled crap but the genetics were still there!

I would rather not I drilled the grand area of 50acres of wheat and harvested 5 of it. At least in 2019 we didn’t even waste the money trying

Will it keep until March?

Nearly all home saved here this year. At least it’s here and available and drilled now. If you want something doing nowadays best to do it yourself.

Recirculated mine round and round the system through the Kongskilde cleaner till there was no more small grains and rubbish blowing out. Looked good in the drill hopper.

Last year I ordered Crispin in August and was finally sent Firefly in the third week of October.

Got some Astronomer arrived yesterday, 42 tgw.
Hope the sample is better next harvest, looks a bit hens and chickens like Robigus used to.
