Winter wheat yields

[DeeGee]

No, but don't remember name. Always about first in FW cutting barley, and always yielding beyond my most optimistic dreams.

“Coming off the combine at a slightly disappointing 11.8t/ha and 13.5% moisture. All 1450ha have been sold forward at £155/tonne. The last of the straw is being cleared at an agreed £75/ tonne, and the direct drills have already moved in to establish next year’s OSR crop”

Ok, there's more at work than currency. Domestic production was massive in 2015 here and in Europe so exports had to go outside the EU bloc. The difference between import parity and export parity is over £10 by itself.

Name me a stable currency! They all fluctuate.

All are a race to the bottom
And real terms losses of holding them or a lay greater than grain storage costs and respiration losses ?

Insitor's parentage is utterly confidential, apparently,

Just been 'phoned by a friend and, apparently, Insitor is well known in crop circles for having been the mythical crop sowing sub-god of Ceres. Didn't know that.

Logically, however, according to all its media hype (see above), such a paragon variety should surely have been named instead for the sub-god of barn filling who, apparently, was called Conditor.


Personally, having been forced to look all this up, I'm just hoping that the next decent BG killing material to be introduced here might be called after the Ceres sub-god of herbicides - Subruncinator.

Insitor's parentage is utterly confidential, apparently, but I guess it's probably Insult x Trantor.

Hereford X AB111-1011

Clearly not very confidential.

Hereford is in a lot of new wheats. It itself is a solstice Deben wheat, and back in the depths of time was either never fully listed or lasted two minutes due to its shocking rust resistance - brown rust I think it was.

Funnily enough, Robigus was the ancient god of rust.

Not quite sure why they named a wheat variety after it.

 

[teslacoils]

Hereford was brown rust. Ah robigus and alchemy - if you added amistar at T3 neither ever really ripened. All tending to get late to combine these new ones.

Maybe Hereford turns the colour of Hereford cows? And alchemy just fools gold.

 

[bankrupt]

alchemy just fools gold.

Still got some, here.

Had moved on to its successor, Bennington, but that one's gone down with yellow rust.

Just wish we'd stuck with Huntsman, Hobbit, Rapier and Haven.

I tried some Bennington. Was good. I should have stuck with Clare.

Dad always talks about xi19, it’s still our highest ever averaging yielding wheat I think in 2008 or 2009. What was so great about it?

Clare and it's descendants have always done well here. Cassius and then Grafton in particular suit our land and system.

Did well for us too. I always thought it had a sort of hybrid vigour that other varieties didn't have, especially on our cold wet clay. It was a good second wheat.
We got on well with Buster and Brock too, soft wheats, and completely different growth habit to XI19.

Average yield 2008 harvest all xi19 continuous wheat 11.6t/ha, I was 16 then. I guess I was expensive to keep!

 

[teslacoils]

Stopped Clare because the mill didn't want to pay for it. Too easy to sprout now I have not got my own combine.

Relay best yielder in days gone by but on a much higher input level than with Clare.

Yes it tillered like mad

A lot of bullshiters in that area

It produced stonking yields from late sowing, so was popular with beet and potato growers. Took huge amounts of N to get it though. Sow in in September and it would be flat in June.

Worth growing now as a feed? Guess disease profile would be poor now?

I dont think youd get any seed would you???
As brisel said, maul it in after beet in december and it would just race away.
I'm trying to remember but did it have a spring wheat parentage somewhere along the line???
