Skyfall wheat

[Farma Parma]

Protein was 12.6% & it never had any late Liquid N or any other in granular neither

What are peoples thoughts on this variety , is it a good second wheat .

V impressed this far North as i dont grow any Milling Varieties as a rule.

 

[Badshot]

mind did 3.5t/ac without any extra effort, all other 2nds were under 3t
same inputs

Mine was all first wheat.
Skyfall was average 12/ha. 12.6-13 protein
Crusoe 10.5/ha. 13.5-14.1 protein


Pleased with both, but thankful of having more Skyfall than crusoe

Now just need to get lennox performing............

How's skyfall been in this dry weather is it doing any better then other varieties

 

[MrNoo]

Ours is looking ok so far, turning very fast now. Was shooting clays at the weekend and the chap there was growing it and reckoned he had some that would go this week. Ours is still cheesy and tram lines still green'ish

 

[Captain Mainwaring]

Visually nothing to choose between skyfall and crusoe here, both have held on fairly well.

What do you expect them to yield

It will probably be doing better this year than last year when it was wetter.

My thoughts!!

 

[farm]

I think I will stick with growing some skyfall for next year

 

[Farma Parma]

Good wheat. ours looks as good as last year. dry spell bringing it on thats for sure.
but its all there. Only grow it as a 2nd here & more acres planned for 2019

 

[Wombat]

Ours looks well as a second wheat this year, the month of 20+ deg though has really brought it on even on the snotty stuff so I think it will be fit early August

skyfall seems to be holding up the best round here,

I've looked at Skyfall but never grown it. I'm too worried about sprouting as most of my wheat has to wait until I've cut a big area of spring barley. Zyatt is no better

Skyfall looking very poor here a lot of smaller than normal ears, i have Lilli/evolution which looks to have suffered less but belepi appears best of the bunch. Hope to start on skyfall next week

We were told the same that we would be mental to grow skyfall beacuse of it's sprouting,never had any issues with it . had it in since it was p1 on the list so everything that gentleman tells us is no good we grow now.

It has done well for many growers. High quality, high yielding, early maturing, WOBM resistant & low input Gp1 that suits DD systems and many others

Yep I like it. I was starting to go off it for no logical reason that I didn't like the look of it but I grow it as a feed and it generally keeps clean and enjoys DD. Kept way cleaner than a neighbouring field of Costello.

I'll grow again

Having just been through our wheat this afternoon, I reckon skyfall is going to outdo the zyatt in terms of yield, i think the drout conditions have effected the zyatt more than the skyfall.

 

[shakerator]

I don’t like skyfall
Miles off feed and gp2 yield far more than AHDB list suggested ime

However I can see it performing relatively well against big biomass big eared Feed wheats where specific weight will
Be poor too many grain sites to fill from moisture deficit
