High yielding spring feed wheat
Hexham produces high yields when spring sown and outstanding yields when sown in the autumn. It is similar in height to KWS Kilburn and has stiff straw and excellent disease resistance. Hexham is a later maturing variety.
With superb yields across a wide sowing window, combined with excellent agronomics, disease resistance and grain quality, Hexham is a very attractive flexible option for growers.
