WW feed varieties for 2021 harvest

[Flintstone]

Interested to hear views on good options for wheat varieties for 2021.

I grow wheat for feed, and like to focus on:

1. Good inbuilt disease strength.
2. Good tillering (helps fill the Claydon gaps).
3. Wide sowing calendar window.

I grew Extase this year, and it did "ok" (may have been the season though).
Graham looked awful but I was pleasantly surprised.
Revelation was as reliable as ever.

Anything else I should be considering that fits my requirements above?

Gleam

We grew some early generation RGT SilverSurfer which stayed as clean as a whistle and looked lovely and yielded nicely. OBM resistance. It was drilled on 25cm row spacing.

SilverSurfer....?

But I'm only 47!

Thanks. Will look into Gleam and SS.

RGT Saki with a look, KWS firefly tillers well on your wide rows but watch the rusts.

Barrel

Crispin did very well here last year. Drilled in January on dry sand. 10 t/ ha. A joy to combine. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it. Tillers well.

Gleam did well, but it is getting yellow rust.
Costello has done the best here. Not the highest rating for yield , but performs well locally .This is Costello after maize

 

[An Gof]

Costello has also been reliable in the South West

 

[Flintstone]

Thanks all. Much appreciated. I do like this place.

Costello can have spectacular sp weight. Downside is no OBM resistance.

What seed rate did you drill that at, looks a cracking crop

 

[cricketandcrops]

Skyfall- yes its a group one but produces good yields, tillers well, good disease (can let yellow Rust in early but cheap to control), OWBM resistance, wide sowing window......a very good all round variety

 

[teslacoils]

Gleam.
Costello.

 

[Wombat]

Got some Saki on order

 

[DRC]

Thanks . It was drilled on 30th Oct after maize at 200kgs/ha ( 1.6 cwt acre )
I estimate it yielded 3.75 t/acre.

Costello can have spectacular sp weight. Downside is no OBM resistance.

Had some results back yesterday . All in mid 80s . One undried sample was 88

Costello is great a very under appreciated variety. Love it and some fair premiums on it.

Mainly Grafton again here
Once again 1st field over weighbridge did just shy of 4 ton acre
Sown 14th Sept 19

I have to say Sundance has done really well for me the last few years. It's much later than the graham/extase/firefly I also grow, so gives a bit of spread with applications and harvest.
I have never suffered from the low bushel weight that are meant to be a weak spot with this variety.
