Research
The goal for the small grains breeding program is to develop cultivars with potential for early fall-winter forage production. Target crops are rye, triticale, wheat and oat. Numerous breeding lines have been geenrated for all four target crops and have been evaluated in different field experiments. Advanced materials are in multi-location trials along with standard check varieties. Promising materials have been identified and are being developed as new cultivars.
