Racing to victory

LCS Runner is a new release by Limagrain Cereal Seeds. This variety can really run away from the competition thanks to its very good overall disease package, broad adaptability, and its excellent yield potential. It is a LCS Mint pedigree with improved Fusarium Head Blight tolerance, better standability, and slightly earlier in maturity. LCS Runner still carries the great quality that LCS Mint is known for. In our research trials LCS Runner beat LCS Mint by an average of 4 bushels to the acre. This variety handles acid soil well and has excellent drought tolerance. This is one variety you will want to run towards for your farm.
