Seed
At Wellspring Seeds we have a passion for growing and cleaning quality seed and are always looking for the best products to supply to our customers.
AAC Penhold
CPS
A very short CPS variety with excellent yield potential and good disease package to help it get harvest. Well adapted to all zones but shines where standability is a concern.
- Strongest straw available in CPS varieties
- Heavy test weight and large seed size
- Medium maturity – 2 days earlier than AAC Brandon
UA Forefront
CPS
New high yielding CPS wheat with good straw strength. In local trials, UA Forefront outyielded Penhold by 5%. This is a Foremost replacement which is no longer in the CPS category.
- 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 Brandon
CWRS
AAC Brandon is the definition of consistency. It is well adapted to all zones and conditions, there’s a reason it has been one of the most widely grown wheat for the last 7 years.
- Short, strong straw
- Strong disease package – MR to FHB, R to leaf rust, MR to stripe rust and smut
- Semi-dwarf, awned variety
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
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
CDC Fraser
2-Row Malt Barley
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
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
