Prospect - Going for Gold
Prospect is a very high yielding feed variety, with a superb performance in all regions, particularly the East, where it is one of the highest yielding RL varieties.
Prospect has a high specific weight, is early to ripen, with stiff straw and excellent disease resistance. With Prospect growers can achieve yields above or equivalent to the existing malting and feed types, but tailor their inputs and reduce management costs to grow for the feed market.
