Soft White Winter Wheat
The Pacific Northwest (PNW) is the largest U.S. soft white winter wheat (SWWW) producer. Three million acres are planted annually on average, yielding 200+ million bushels. SWWW is a leading U.S. export and is used domestically for making baked goods. The PNW is also a bountiful producer of soft white spring wheat, hard red winter and spring wheat, hard white winter and spring wheat, and spring barley.
Driven by Innovation
The Limagrain Cereal Seeds PNW program is based in Walla Walla, Washington. LCS programs produce thousands of new crosses annually, a proportion of which are bred exclusively for the Pacific Northwest. The most promising new crosses are quickly cycled through our doubled haploid program. Other proprietary germplasm is field tested in off-site nurseries located throughout the Pacific Northwest. Additional technologies, such as marker assisted selection (MAS), are used to produce varieties with specific traits that provide beneficial resistance to various pests and pathogens, as well as excellent end-use characteristics.
Proven PNW Varieties
At LCS, we stand behind the fact that all our PNW 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.
