What new feed wheat?

[Jerry]

I need to replace Skyfall for this autumn drilling. It’s breaking then to rust and has had its day now.

Will carry Graham for another year, hopefully more.

So what varieties are worth looking at?

Note I’m in the SW so good septoria scores are a must!

In the SW Graham and KWS Extase are the ones to beat and will undoubtedly command a big market share.
Two candidate varieties to watch out for and follow in their trial results this year for SW growers are Mayflower and KWS Dawsum.

These new varieties imo have no staying power , am I wrong .

 

[Chalky]

Unfortunately the cougar parentage in firefly and many others is breaking down to septoria. may need a bit of a varietal rethink. So staying power?? Maybe not!

I still like Skyfall and don't find it very rusty at all. Don't feel its outclassed yet, its a tough old variety.

I tried Graham and it rusted terribly and yielded badly so don't fancy it.

Probably will try Extase next year

 

[Hedger]

Extase is definitely worth a look given how robust it is and the number of potential markets it can achieve.

Interesting.

skyfall here this year is either bstandard seed or C1 on seed contract. Both suffering rust

Graham is 3 year home saved seed.

Both skyfall types have rusted. Graham very little rust at all and yielded very very well two years ago. Last year was crap but so was everything else.

Yes possibly I didn't give Graham a fair crack of the whip.

I’m the same used to love a new variety but now I find once I find one that I get on with tend to stick with it a while

I agree.
Having said that it feels like zyatt is now at the stage solstice was when it succumbed to rust.
I have some extras which looks very clean although it was drilled later after potatoes. I also have some Graham which looks clean, as does my Dunstan.
Basically it all looks clean except the Zyatt!

2007 grew the biggest crop of wheat in my lifetime , Oakley , bad summer , wet , late harvest , sprouted to sh!t , struggled to cut it . soul destroying .

 

[Hampton]

Grew Oakley for years until it disappeared off list. I never found it broke down to rust in the same way robigus, solstice or Hereford has
