Grazing wheat varieties in Gippsland locations
Aims

To see how new varieties fared at different sowing dates compared with varieties suited to those dates.
 

Key messages
  • Sowing early, grazing the crops and taking through to harvest gives only a small yield penalty.
  • Manning has been a strong performer across all three sowing dates.
  • With early sowings, more feeding is essential to improve yields at the end of the season.
