WHEAT GUIDE 2022
Group 1
Varieties that produce consistent milling and baking performance. Group 1 varieties are not inter- changeable; some are better suited to specific uses than others. It is therefore important to understand end-use requirements.
CRUSOE, GALLANT, RGT ILLUSTRIOUS, SKYFALL, SOLSTICE, KWS TRINITY
Spring wheat: MULIKA
Group 2
This group comprises varieties that exhibit bread-making potential but are not suited to all grists. Some are consistent, but not as good as those in Group 1; some perform inconsistently while others are suited to specialist flours.
CORDIALE, KWS-LILI, KWS SISKIN, PANORAMA.
Spring wheats: GRANARY KWS-WILLOW, TYBALT
Group 3
Soft varieties for biscuit, cake and other flours.
KWS BARREL, KWS BASSET, BRITANNIA, CLAIRE, RGT-CONVERSION, SCOUT, SPYDER, ZULU
Group 4
These varieties are grown mainly as feed wheats. However, some (such as the examples listed below) may be used by millers in certain ‘general purpose’ grists if they achieve the contractual standards, but are unlikely to attract a premium.
HARD: BELGRADE, BELVOIR (spring), COSTELLO, DICKENS, EVOLUTION, GRAFTON, GRA- HAM, JB DIEGO, KWS-ALDERON (spring), KWS-GATOR, KWS-KIELDER, KWS KILBURN (spring), KWS-SANTIAGO, KWS SILVERSTONE, REFLECTION & RELAY.
SOFT: HORATIO, LEEDS, MYRIAD, REVELATION & VISCOUNT.
