Demonstrating the dual-use potential of a new variety of intermediate wheatgrass

SFSDC Research or Demonstration Trial
Written By Sask Forage Seed

Demonstrating the dual-use potential of a new variety of intermediate wheatgrass when grown in northeast Saskatchewan under organic and conventional cropping systems. We will demonstrate the feed-grazing value year 1 and seed production value year 2.

Three locations planted in 2021 - two sites under organic production and one conventional site. This is an ADOPT 2021 project funded by Saskatchewan Agriculture and done in collaboration with Sask Organics. Due to drought conditions, the demonstrations will be replanted in 2022. Check website updates for 2022 field tour dates.
