LCS provides growers in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas and New Mexico with dynamic, highly profitable options for grain and grazing, starting with and building on the success of T158. LCS CoAXium® varieties give farmers the upper hand over persistent grassy weeds. Conventional LCS lines deliver targeted on-field performance in a range of maturities so you can find the best wheat for every acre. And all LCS wheat is bred to do what you need most: maximize yield.
Hard Red Winter Wheat
The Central Plains are planted almost entirely with hard red winter wheat (HRWW), both under irrigation and on dryland acres. HRWW is the largest class of wheat produced in the United States, with more than 20 million acres planted annually that net more than 750 million bushels. End users choose HRWW for its excellent milling and baking characteristics.
Driven by Innovation
The Limagrain Cereal Seeds Central Plains program is based in Wichita, Kansas under Senior Wheat Breeder Dr. Marla Barnett. LCS programs produce thousands of new crosses annually, a proportion of which are bred exclusively for the Central Plains. The most promising new crosses are quickly cycled through our doubled haploid program. During summer months, proprietary germplasm is field tested in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. Additional technologies, such as marker assisted selection (MAS), are used to produce varieties with specific genes that provide beneficial resistance to various pests and pathogens, as well as excellent end-use characteristics.
Proven Central Plains Varieties
At LCS, we stand behind the fact that all our Central Plains varieties have been extensively studied and field tested for consistency and performance across a wide range of environments and conditions long before they ever make their way to the farmer.
