LCS Julep is here to win the race with an LCS Mint pedigree. It looks and acts very similar to LCS Mint with some added benefits. This hard red winter wheat (HRWW) is a true medium with excellent end-use quality. LCS Julep’s straw strength, grazing ability and drought tolerance are huge assets. It also has a high tiller count, quick emergence and late spring green-up, which has allowed this variety to handle late freezes very well over the past few years. LCS Julep may be named with a link to a horse race, but this variety will work for grazing your cattle as well. Look for LCS Julep to be in the front of the pack at the finish line!
