Not really sure what it brings to the party. The only benefit is a better untreated yield. On the assumption that it will be sprayed with a sensible fungicide programme that's irrelevant.
A Crusoe that thrashes as easily as Skyfall and is OWMB resistant would be good with a 10% yield increase.

“From a quality perspective, its key features include high figures for both Hagberg Falling Number and specific weight among Group 1 AHDB RL winter wheat varieties – with figures of 299 and 79.5 kg/hl respectively. A variety that starts from a high quality base can give a useful buffer for protecting milling premiums – for example in wet harvests which can cause Hagbergs in particular, to suffer.
“Meanwhile, the disease resistance ratings for SY Cheer, of a 6 against Septoria tritici, 7 against yellow rust and 6 against brown rust, give it a good foundation against these three major UK pathogens. This good disease resistance drives its high untreated yield.”
Final UKFM classification on the quality of SY Cheer is hoped for in spring 2024"

Looks good but without approval some millers won't take it. I did reserve 20 tonnes but looks like i'll cancel this year.

SY Cheer remains as provisional Group 1 variety - Milling and Grain
UK Flour Millers has announced a delay to confirmation of a Group 1 rating for the provisional Group 1 breadmaking wheat variety, SY Cheer.

This is the latest. Annoying as I have got my name down for 10t of seed
Yep I book a fair tonnage on advise but then was told it’s only provisional so will cancel. May grow a couple fields

Think I will also grow some for next years seed also just in case.

Neighbour has grown some for the past 2 years in a trial and commercially and was not particularly impressed.

You mean cheaper to manage. Nothing difficult about the current varieties that a bit of teb or pyrac wont sort out surely. When teb goes I would agree with you. A bit more NUE wouldn't go amiss.

Its going a bit like Cordiale, A group 1 that the millers wouldn't approve as such due to a bit of inconsistency perhaps. They want to buy group 1 at a group 2 price.
Operationally easier. I suspect there is a lot of crops missing treatments around the country this year because of weather and conditions. It just adds another layer of risk which of course can be managed but we could all do without.

Went round the M 25 yesterday and there's definitely a few wheats that didn't get the required fungicide. Not always easy so a decent variety would be insurance; don't think i'm brave enough to cut the fungicide. Luckily this year i guess.
