Eastern Prairie Fit
Strong Yield
Good looking variety
[NEW 2028] ....Standability and test weight, eastern prairie oat growers have been waiting for.
AAC Gladys is an outstanding fit for the Eastern Prairies, particularly Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan. It combines strong yield, and test weight, and the best standability package we have seen in an oat variety for quite some time, creating a level of consistency that is difficult to ignore. Its area of adaptation is very similar to Summit, making it a natural fit for growers familiar with that market. What sets AAC Gladys apart is the combination of standability and grain quality. For growers in the Eastern Prairies looking at exceptional standability, and proven performance, AAC Gladys is a variety worth serious consideration.
