This handy chart compares the following spring wheat varieties we have for sale on key attributes including: grain yield, height, straw strength, disease etc.
AAC Viewfield is the shortest CWRS wheat to date with excellent straw strength, making it a top choice for irrigation and high yield environments. It’s a top yielder with improved protection against fusarium head blight (FHB) and sprouting.
CDC Landmark VB is the first midge tolerant wheat that is high yielding, semi-dwarf, with improved protection against fusarium head blight (FHB). In addition, it has a semi-solid stem which offers some sawfly protection.
It's not a surprise that the seeded acres of AAC Brandon CWRS wheat have increased dramatically across western Canada in the last few years. This semi-dwarf variety is capable of achieving high yields across many types of land and climate conditions on the prairies. Brandon is known for excellent quality protein and other grading parameters and with it's short height it stands quite well even under irrigation.
AC® Carberry is an awned, semi-dwarf CWRS variety that when compared to Superb has similar grain yield, higher grain protein potential, shorter, stronger straw and much better fusarium head blight resistance.
This is a new high yielding hard red spring wheat from Secan that has wheat midge resistance.

Talk to us about other crops.
We are pleased to provide our customers with custom forage and cover crop blends as well as Alfalfa seed and blends.
Peas are often added to oats or barley forage crops in order to increase the protein content and palatability of the forage.
Our dual purpose hay and pasture blends are suitable for haying and some grazing. These blends include a combination of native grasses. Some include a small amount of alfalfa and some do not.
With a higher alfalfa content, these blends are suitable for hay but not for grazing.
Our alfalfa seed contains only high purity and germination seed lots and are treated with Apron XL for improved seedling vigour. Alfalfa blends are recommended if you have variable land as the different combination of alfalfa in each blend will help you maximize yield across your whole field.
