Will you have more FX1001 available this year? It seemed to be much hardier than what the neighbors were growing and matured about one and a half weeks sooner! The best triticale in our area. Had a lot of positive comments from neighbors who noticed the difference. It yielded 3.0 to 3.5 tons dry matter, and I was just very happy with that variety and its ability to handle tough conditions. – CENTERVILLE, IA –
