About this product

LG Optimist Winter Wheat

LG Optimist is a medium-maturity, awnless winter wheat bred in Germany for the Polissia and Forest-Steppe zones of Ukraine. It carries an 8/9 winter hardiness rating and genetic stem-breakage resistance, and as a compensation-type variety it holds yield across a wide mid-early to mid-late sowing window. Disease scores sit high, with 8/9 against fusarium head blight and both yellow and brown rust, and the grain reaches quality class A for milling.
