LCS Jet is the most widely grown hard red winter wheat in the Pacific Northwest because it performs well under low, intermediate and high rainfall environments in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and even Montana. Not only does LCS Jet have broad adaptation, but it also has top-end yield potential, proven by its consistently trial-topping yield and four-time National Wheat Yield Contest wins.
