Caledon

Husked Oat

A very high-yielding husked variety. It has given the highest yields for a husked oat variety on the recommended list for spring oats 2026. Caledon has high resistance to mildew and has given high yields in untreated UK trials. This early maturing variety has moderate straw strength

Dublet

Triticale

Dublet is a popular, high yielding spring triticale with taller, but relatively stiff straw, medium maturity, and a high specific weight.

Graham

Hard Group 4 Wheat

Tried and tested variety known for it’s consistent yields, decent agronomics, and plentiful straw. Performs particularly well in the West region (amongst the highest on RL) and is on the earlier side of maturity. Our biggest seller!

LG Defiance

Hard Group 4 Wheat

This new variety shows good consistancy across all regions, and seasons. LG Defiance has good disease resistance profile with a Septoria Tritici rating of 6.3 and a yellow rust rating of 8. LG Defiance offers growers the security of Orange Wheat Blossom Midge (OWBM) resistance. It is a taller strawed variety with good lodging resistance and a maturity of +1.

KWS Extase

UKFM Group 2 Wheat

The UK's most grown variety in 2023 boasting the highest untreated yield on the RL with exceptional resistance to Septoria Triciti (a prevalent disease in our region), good end-market potential and suitable for a wide range of soils. A vigorous variety most suited to later drilling.

Caravelle

Two Row Feed Barley

UK yield of 106% which is as high as the present top highest yielding hybrids. These high yields are backed up by an excellent disease profile, reflected on LG Caravelle's high untreated yields. 

KWS Tardis

Two Row Feed Barley

A high yielding, tall variety with excellent resistance to lodging. Balanced agronomics and excellent specific weight add to the appeal. Tardis is comfortable on heavy land and delivers an abundance of straw.

Valerie

Two Row Feed Barley

A solid variety that offers respectable yields, good agronomics, quality grain and good value. Valerie shows excellent resistance to lodging, has early maturity and robust resistance to the major diseases.

Cromwell

Oats

High yields. excellent kernel content and specific weighty, high hullability and acceptable screening losses. With the added benefit of short stiffed straw, Cromwell is increasing used and feedback continues to be positive.

KWS Fido

Triticale

The leading UK variety with high yield, straw length and protein content. It is early to ripen and has excellent specific weight. The excellent performance and agronomics make Fido ideal as a second cereal on farm.

Maize

As well as cereals we also supply high performance Maize seed and fertiliser. We offer full agronomy services and plant protection products to help get the most from your crop.

Maize

A firm favourite of ours, delivering reliable yields and quality forage year 
after year. Duxxbury offers very early maturity even if sown relatively late after a spring silage cut or on less favourable site.

A new variety for 2025, from the same proven breeding as Duxxbury. Buxxton allows early maize harvesting without yield or quality compromises.
Exceptional good scores for early vigour improving establishment, rapid plant development means fewer days until true maturity, making an excellent option for later sowing in less favourable conditions. 

A new generation of early forage maize bred by RAGT. Pixxon is a farmer friendly variety with the best all-round agronomic characteristics including lodging and disease resistance.

P7179 is an extra early maturity variety suitable for sowing on both favourable and less favourable sites. P7179 is a tall hybrid with early flowering, very high starch content, high grain yields and very good eyespot resistance.

P7381 is an impressive, very early maturity hybrid that combines good early vigour, standing power and eyespot resistance. The very fast stover dry-down aids successful harvest. All this adds up to provide growers with the promise of reliable field performance in wide range of sites. 

P7034 is an early maturing hybrid with a dent grain texture meaning: fast ruminal starch degradability, very high whole plant digestibility, starch content and early flowering. Rumen degradable starch is available much sooner after ensiling, significantly reducing slumps in milk yield.  Aim to ensile last and feed first.

Arable Silage

Cereal and Legume Mixtures

ArableSilag

The high protein cereal/legume mixtures are grown for ensiling and used as an alternative to straight grass, whole crop cereal or maize. They can be fed alone or as a part of a mixed ration, usually blended with a compound feed. Silage analysis can be undertaken by your feed supplier or nutritionist to determine the best compound feed and mineral package to complement the mixture.

Due to the legume content, fertiliser requirements are lower than that of combinable cereals and due to the mixture of species, agronomy options are limited. There mixtures are competitive and any weed control should be implemented pre-emergence taking into account the range of species in the mix. 

Arable silage is spring sown as a pure stand or under sown with ryegrass. Speak to us for more information.
