Choose well - New High Yielding Contender
Cromwell is an exciting winter husked oat with great potential for the milling markets. It is a Mascani cross but produces significantly higher yields.
Cromwell combines all of the attributes desired by the millers – high yields, excellent kernel content and specific weight,
high hullability and acceptable screening losses. With the added benefit of short, exceptionally stiff straw, Cromwell is
increasingly used in the mills and feedback continues to be incredibly positive.
