High yielding hard feed Graham Replacement
Girton is the ideal Graham replacement, with a robust
disease package and excellent agronomics.
Suitable for drilling from 1st September onwards – and as a secondor more cereal, Girton offers growers the reliability they have come to know and depend on from Graham. Bold grain and high specific weight adds to the appeal as a hard feed type. Early maturing so easy to sequence in partnership with other hard feed types, with the flexibility of incredibly stiff straw that allows the agronomist to be more flexible in their approach.
