Wheat varieties

[lloyd]

Are people sticking to the older trusted varieties or
have certain new wheats performed unexpectedly well on a trying year?

 

[Wheater]

Gleam, Champion and Extase for cropping 25. all proven. cranium has been a disappointment this year as has Dawsum so they are being canned. Will be trying one field of Beowolf to save seed for next year.

 

[lloyd]

Champion looks interesting for me to replace Skyscraper which has
underperformed here.

 

[Wombat]

Bairstow, redwald and some bamford. Champion been and gone here just cannot get it to yield as well as the others. bairstow beaten it in all situations for the second year running so it’s gone.

 

[Andy26]

Extase, after years of Skyfall.

 

[lloyd]

Any feedback on Beowulf ?

 

[David.]

Sticking with Dawsum and Gleam, both weigh like lead shot and yield better than counting trailer loads suggests. Dawsum 81kg off combine.
Costello gone.

Gleam. My over yeared has tested fine, and I will buy some more to top it up. Or clean some of my own overyeared, depending on cost.

Diago and gleam to stay here, extase to go.

Diago and gleam to stay here, extase to go.

Everyone else round here is raving about their extase, except the protein.

 

[Green oak]

Gleam here until TEB goes.

Here too, but it seems late in it's career to pile in.

Hmm.

I've been growing gleam a long time and just about got the hang of it.

There's nothing on the RL I'm excited about changing to.

 

[Brisel]

Costello and Zyatt gone. Replaced by Dawsum and Extase. Trying SY Cheer as a possible Crusoe replacement

 

[texelburger]

Sticking with Typhoon, insitor and my own blend of Champion/Extase.Have a ton of KWS palladium to try as it did very well,locally,and was clean in trials apparently.

 

[moretimeforgolf]

Cutting back on Extase. Trying Cheer and also growing a seed crop of Goldfinch.

 

[ajd132]

A chunk of beowulf, extase for feed. for warburtons crusoe and loxton. Some skyfall for open market and some cheer to grow on

 

[robbie]

Diago and gleam to stay here, extase to go.

For the first time ever I was a bit disappointing with Diego.
Dawsum in the same field on 2 different blocks wiped the floor with it.
Extase along side dawsum January drilled in the same field much the same both very pleasing but I'd say dawnsum had the better sample.

This year the bulk will be dawsum again with perhaps some extase after beet later on and I'll drill a bag or 2 of Diego just as a look see.

How much have been people been paying for Beowulf seed ?Cheers

 

[Kentishfarmer]

A few people getting out if Costello, any reason why?
