Great stand of wheat, easy harvest

I ordered this seed two years ago and got around to planting a trial plot of about 3,000sqft last fall in 2022. I hand planted and then covered with a layer of hay. I did nothing else, no fertilizer, no herbicides or fungicides, no weeding, nothing and it grew great! I'm finishing the hand processing of it now and I'm pleased with the results. I'm actually here to order more.

Yes

Like it

I tried about 5 acres at around 125 lb/acre. This variety came in tall and thick, and even with the lighter seeding rate it definitely snuffed out the weeds. Yield is lower than modern varieties, but combining was easy and the grain came out very clean. I haven't gotten lab tests yet, but if they come out nice I will certainly plant again. I'm looking forward to baking with this.
