FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Skyfall remains one of the UK’s most widely grown varieties. Grown not just as atop class milling wheat, but for its other qualities, such as wide sowing window and ease of combining. Skyfall has the lowest vernalisation requirements of any recommended UK wheat. Making it suitable to drill into the beginning of March. Sown in early spring, Skyfall can often outperform true spring wheats.
