- Kernal size and quality is better than many varieties on the market
- Awned hard red spring wheat variety with high yield potential
- Shorter stature with good lodging tolerance, and excellent rust resistance
AC Sadash®
CWSWS
High yields and low protein make AC Sadash® a great candidate for ethanol production. AC Sadash® VB also has a fit if you’re looking for a silage variety – big leaves help provide the tonnes you’re looking for. Also equipped with the SM-1 gene to combat wheat midge through the season.
- Midge tolerant, requires AC Andrew as a refuge
- 106% yield of AC Andrew
- Short, strong straw
AAC Wheatland VB
CWRS
AAC Wheatland VB is a very high yielding semidwarf CWRS with excellent lodging tolerance and intermediate resistance to FHB. AAC Wheatland VB is also tolerant to the orange wheat blossom midge.
- Shortest, strongest straw in a CWRS MTW
- Yield 104% of AAC Brandon
- Good grade retention/sprouting tolerance
CS Garde
CWRS
CS Garde has significantly shorter stature than
AAC Brandon and AAC Viewfield. It has good lodging resistance and similar maturity to both checks.
CS Garde has an excellent disease resistance package
- Shortest CWRS on the market
- Well suited to high fertility areas
- Resistant to stem, leaf and stripe rust.
- Mood milling, rheology and baking qualities comparable to the CWRS checks
AAC Stoughton VB
CWRS
AAC Stoughton VB is a very high yielding semi
dwarf CWRS with good lodging tolerance and is
rated MR to FHB resistance. AAC Stoughton VB is
also tolerant to the orange wheat blossom midge.
- High yielding CWRS
- Refuge = AAC Westking
- R to leaf, stem rust and I to stripe rust
- MR to FHB
- Excellent standability
CDC Churchill

- High yielding 2-Row malt
- Short strong straw
- Listed on CMBTC as growing demand
- Yields 104% of AAC Synergy
CDC Fraser
CDC Fraser is a high yielding strong strawed 2-row malting barley with large plump kernels and lower grain protein. Viewed as a potential malt replacement for both AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland.

- CDC Fraser is widely adapted across the Canadian Prairies
- Strong straw
- Yield 106% of CDC Copeland
Esma
Feed Barley
A next-generation two-row feed barley capable of delivering eye popping yields, while standing strong throughout the season. If you want high yields and high bushel weights, look no further.
- Strong straw, well-suited to intensive management
- 14cm shorter than CDC Austenson
- Similar maturity to CDC Austenson
AAC Beyond
Yellow Pea
A new yellow pea that shows consistent high yield and protein content, while earlier than current varieties on the market.
Very high yields
Early maturing
Smaller seed size
MR to Fusarium Root Rot
CDC 219-16
Faba Beans
A white flowered, zero tannin faba bean with a high yield potential and early maturity. CDC 219-16 was selected for its small seed size allowing lower seeding rates and decreasing problems in the drill.
- Similar to slightly higher yields than Snowbird
- Low tannin so can be used in the feed market
- Seed is 25% smaller than Snowbird
