Norwest Tandem is a joint variety between Limagrain Cereal Seeds and Oregon State University. Norwest Tandem is an intermediate-to-early maturing soft white winter wheat with a short, stiff straw. It performs well under low rainfall environments, but also has a great top-end yield in high rainfall performance, making this soft winter wheat great in blends as well as standalone.
