I’m growing for seed - looks good. Massive ears, plenty on vigour

I seem to be the only one but I get on well with KWS basset and might keep it going longer yet. We grow a lot of group 3 wheat and the new varieties just don't look a sensible choice.
There are also some very good varieties not on the RL which has now become a very wild guide... some varieties change disease scores so quickly!

I’ve potentially been asked to grow Dawsum in a seed contract but don’t know much about it yet.
Sounds promising then, if you have any spare I’ll take 10 tons.

I grew Basset until last year and got on really well with it, same with Kerrin.
I’m very tempted to go back to them.

I will definitely be growing Kerrin as HSS next year, just what to put in for HSS for the year after.

Kerrin? here it is in our Somerset trials
No, that's not an untreated crop, it's had a sequence of Univoq and Revystar. Good luck.

Not so sure about Saki!
Gleam drilled around the same time, treated with the same fungicide programme.

Saki has Cougar parentage and is looking like that in a lot of places.

saki looks well here clean as a whistle compared to gleam which unless harvest yield is better than it looks atm will reduce , for what its worth saki seems to have taken the effects of the wet winter (saturation,ponding etc)better than anything in terms of recovery ),.

Has anyone seen any recent pictures from the chaps who were posting pictures of their no fungicide wheat back in early June?
