LCS Jet is our most widely grown hard red winter wheat in many areas because it performs well under low, intermediate and high rainfall environments. 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.
