Autumn weather and wider climate patterns are increasingly hard to predict and subsequently plan for.
Sprinter Wheat’s fast emergence and development gives increased confidence of successful establishment with later drilling into more challenging seedbeds.
If weather conditions are especially poor and not conducive to autumn drilling, Sprinter Wheats can be drilled throughout the spring.

Sprinter wheats allow for growers to purchase seed with confidence regardless of weather conditions.
Eliminates the risk of having to purchase spring seed if the autumn is a washout.
As a result, reduces the cash flow burden of having unplanted seed on farm.
Grassweed reduction
Delayed drilling reduces grassweed germination.
Sprinter Wheats fast establishment and development has shown promise in trials suppressing and competing against grassweeds


Changing Rotations
SFI considerations
Reduced oilseed rape and winter barley area
Increased maize and second wheat area which regularly delay wheat drilling.
Earlier harvesting allows the potential to follow Sprinter Wheats with a wider range of following crops or cover crops.
