Actually Crest u have to talk to Richardson and they will contact a seed grower u can buy from. That is the only thing I dont like about growing this wheat. U are basically told where to buy it and where to sell it. We had to sell all our production back this year. Not sure which growers have it for next year.

Plant Breeders Rights.....no farmer to farmer...ok well we tried.

We grew some Faller in 2015. It stood pretty well for us and significantly out yielded Harvest.
Itsnot contracted with Warburton but we got offered $6.11 yesterday for 13px. The samples we had tested were over 14px but I wouldn't count on that every year.

Crestliner, the seed grower we got the Faller from also asked that if we keep seed from that crop, to bring it to him for cleaning rather then a third party. I'm not sure if he was just asking nicely or if it is actually a requirement.

Jay-mo,

Certainly NOT a required by UPOV91. If some other contract has fine print you signed when you bought the seed... whatever you signed. Check for fine print on Purchase agreements is a good point to remember!

Thanks guys appreciate the good reports.
