Farm Feedback...
E1007 has been a high yielding choice for our farm. It gives us the straw that we
need without compromising stock strength. - Chris Stege, Palmerston, Ontario
P&H Brand E0028W is an excellent yielding and quality variety that is early maturing
soft white wheat, allowing combining of the white wheat prior to harvesting our red
varieties. - Dave, Adam & Jacob MacKellar ~ MacKellar Farms, Alvinston, Ontario
R055 has been my best variety for two years in a row. I will continue growing R055. -
Bill Douglas, Newtime Farms, Alvinston, Ontario
E1007 was the best yielding wheat for us this year. - Jason Hugill ~ Alma Villa Farms,
Seaforth, Ontario
