Wheat Cover Crop Seed Bulk Sack 2500#

This variety is a native, cool-season, drought-tolerant, awnless/beardless (apically awnletted) wheat with an abundance of erect, basal leaves. The leaves are fine, flat or rolled, narrow, pointed, and 5 to 12" long. Color varies from pale green to bluish. The stalks are erect, slender, and 1-3' tall. 

This species has a superior forage value when included in a native grass mix cut for hay or even a pure stand that may have been utilized for hay. Soft wheatgrass produces excellent-quality forage for cattle, sheep, and horses during spring and summer. It also cures with high nutrient levels (protein) and is one of the better grasses for fall and winter grazing. Planting Rate: 100-120 lbs. per acre.

The University of Tennessee Wheat Variety Testing Program provides an unbiased evaluation of varieties available for commercial production in Tennessee. Trials are conducted in every physiographic region of the state. The program consists of two major components: The Official Variety Trials, referred to as OVTs, and the County Standard Trials, referred to as CSTs. The OVTs are small-plot, replicated variety trials typically located on research and education centers and are composed of major cultivars and experimental strains. Information reported from the OVT trials includes yield, moisture, test weight, maturity, height, lodging, protein, and metribuzin injury rating. The CSTs are large-plot variety trials located throughout TN and consist only of major commercial cultivars. Information reported from the CST trials includes yield, moisture, and test weight. This program is intended to help wheat producers identify high-yielding varieties that are relatively stable in yield performance across years and produce high-quality grain. The information provided should give those in the seed industry, crop consultants, and the UT Extension service insight into the varietal adaptation of all tested varieties to Tennessee field environments.
