Biscuit wheat variety shows robust performance in Lines

摘要

Brian Hammond is "more than likely" to be growing the biscuit-making wheat variety Merit commercially next season after a robust performance as a seed crop.The south Lincolnshire farm manager is growing 40ha each of Merit and fellow biscuit-maker Astronomer, and both have looked good throughout the season on his light sandy loam soils.He is looking for another winter wheat variety to drill commercially alongside old favourite Siskin this autumn, and at the moment Merit has the edge.
