[QUOTE="SteveE, post: 5572664, member: 49956"] I know as I post this that alot of people have already sown their wheat for this year and also that availability on seed will be exceptionally low due to that fact. We are on heavy river ground here for a couple of farms running to some more gravelly ground up on some banks and sell the grain to a local animal feed manufacturer so specific weight is as equally important to us as is yield. I'm the past few years we have been sowing jb Diego mainly but have dropped the acreage on this due to its lowering disease resistance while now sowing costello and Dunston as the two main varieties. This is the first year for the Dunston. We had been hoping to get hold of some graham this year to try while getting some more costello in (farm saved and cleaned seed) and our agronomist had been tying to push us the way of gravity. He said that Graham had sold out (fair enough) and had said he could get us some costello, gravity and skyscraper. Now a bag of gleam has turned up and we wondered what other people's experiences with those varieties have been? Just after a solid feed wheat due to our market. We are based in the west on the wlsh/English border in Shropshire. Thanks for any advice. [/QUOTE]
