Breeding insights

"VOLUME is a variety that has proven itself to be high yielding no matter the soil type or season, and offers additional benefits such as black-grass suppression - it is proven to reduce seed return, meaning you can not only increase yields but also utilise land previously thought un-farmable."
- Mark Bullen
