Organic Glenn Wheat
• Highest possible rating for baking quality
• Excellent test weight and protein
• Best available scab tolerance with excellent
tolerance to both leaf and stem rust
• Consistent high yields
• Excellent standing, “strong” straw strength rating
from U of MN
• Good choice for fertile soils or farms located south
and/or east of the usual HRSW growing areas
• Glenn can be notoriously tough to combine
Organic Bolles Spring Wheat

competitive yield potential with good protein
and quality
• Clear leader in grain protein and baking desirability
amongst Midwestern wheat varieties
• Direct replacement for Forefront and RB07
• Very good disease resistance package, moderate
resistance to fusarium head blight (scab)
• Medium-late maturity
• Average straw strength
• Good combination of yield, quality and
disease resistance.
• Medium maturity like Prosper
• Good grain quality for milling, high protein and
test weight

ORGANIC SPRING TRITICALE
Spring Triticale should be drilled 1 in. deep into a firm
seedbed in early spring. Planting rate: 50-100 lbs/A
Organic Spring Triticale*
