Varieties For 2023

[teslacoils]

I've been to zero crop trials this year. And as much as I love gleam I'd like a field of something else to go with it. What are the standout wheats you've got? Lots of love for Dawsum I'm hearing ...

 

[APJ]

Dawsum here for its first outing really does look impressive at the moment brought in to replace Costello, typhoon and champion to try this coming season.

 

[solo]

Dawsum didn’t look great at cereals so not too sure now. I have a local field to go and look at next week to compare. Pretty sure the home saved grafton will do another year.

 

[HarryB97]

Have some fields of gleam but tried a field of Skyscraper this year after seeing it at some trials last year. Very pleased with it so far, has looked better than the gleam since the autumn.

 

[teslacoils]

Ive always liked the look of costello. I think it may perform better than gleam for later drilling.

I’d go with Champion and Typhoon solely on the Owbm resistance which Dawsum is missing…

for this autumn i would like 2t of maris huntsman 3t of brigadeer and 3t of norman these are just for trial plots to see how my royalties have been well spent or not!

 

[Hampton]

It depends what you want, but I’m struggling to look past Graham (first wheat) Dawsum (second wheat) and Extase (late slot or second wheat) this year.
Group ones are shot, group 3s not valid in west of country.
Skyscraper good but scruffy, champion etc low bushel.

mad for winter barley, tardis (2 row) one of the hybrids, or the new six row with bydv tolerance although royalty thing would miff me off

 

[PSQ]

Extase is looking good in most trials and on farm as a 1st and 2nd wheat.

Dawsum looking good at 4 trial sites, ordered a tonne today.

For a wildcard: Redwald, slight issue with spec weight. If I had to guess the genetics from it's looks I'd say 'Revelation x with a triffid'. In one particularly fertile trial on good land it looked like it would hump the existing world record.
Candidate variety, so only limited amounts of C1 available.

Nice as Graham looked, the gleam comfortably outyielded it, threshed better, and stood better.

 

[cquick]

I did like the look of redwald at the TAG trials. Sundance parentage which I always thought was a nice variety but never had the balls to try due to spec weight. Might see if I can source some to try.

Bought 500kg Champion and Mayflower to multiply. Most of the acreage for h23 will be a theodore/extase blend.

 

[moretimeforgolf]

I think Mayflower looks good in trials especially when comparing the untreated plots. Might be worth a try if you want to drill in September which is where Extase is not so suitable.

 

[Fish]

Been to 3 local trials over the last week, I will be sticking with Costello, Extase and Dawsum + a ton of Typhoon to grow on.

 

[Wombat]

Champion and Bairstow here

 

[yellow belly]

No one growing class 3s ?

could be a bigger premium ?

 

[bobk]

Costello is the main go to here , struggling with anything else , may even go bak to JB

 

[neilo]

Only barley here. Looking at how well the Tardis is looking, despite the lack of rain, I’ll be drilling that again this Autumn.
Second year with Splendor Spring Barley, and looks ok (again, considering) but it’s performance last year means I’d be loathe to change anyway.

 

[casper74]

I have Skyscraper and Dawsum in two fields next to each other both following Beans, Skyscraper has looked better all the way through so far, I'll wait till combine gets in them, i'll be very surprised if Dawsum yields more. Also grow Extase 2nd year growing that after potatoes and fodder beet, i'll be growing Extase again.

 

[Jo28]

we will try some dawsum and typhoon and continue with gleam and saki for another year. wont bother with champion as the bushel looks poor.

we have both Skyscraper and Dawsum here both look promising , the first wheat dawsum is the one im showing of to my pals. I will be disappointed if it doesnt break the yield record of the field its in . We will have these two as our main varieties and will probably try some Bairstow as looked ok in the trials , will keep the field potentially destined for osr in gravity as its been first to ripen and looks to be ahead of the others again this year
