For the fifth season the Todd family are kindly hosting our wheat demonstration in the borders. This year we have 19 different varieties from ones growers are using at the moment, ones which are being looked at to grow in the future and new varieties within the AHDB candidate list. After the success of last year’s demonstration we have repeated the different establishment methods. All the varieties have been sown into both cultivated ground and directly into a standing cover crop with LG Redwald and LG Typhoon at different seed rates, 100% and 50% of the standard rate.
Updates will be posted throughout the season and we will again host an open day, with our partners Hutchinsons, in June.
