Faster than a jet
LCS Rocket was released for the high rainfall to irrigated producer who wants to manage their production and push for yield. LCS Rocket has and will outyield LCS Jet if managed properly. This hard red winter wheat also has good winter-hardiness, very good straw strength and good stripe rust tolerance. And of course, LCS Rocket also offers genetic diversity if you already have a lot of LCS Jet acres on your farm.
