Certified Winter Wheat Bred for Your Fields

Hard red winter wheat (HRWW) is the largest class of winter wheat and the largest class of overall wheat produced in the United States, with more than 20 million acres planted annually that net more than 750 million bushels. This is due to the versatility of hard red winter wheats, which feature moderately high protein content and excellent end-use quality. HRWW is used principally in the production of bread flour, but is also often chosen for Asian noodles, hard rolls and flatbreads.

Our Locations

The Limagrain Cereal Seeds HRWW program is based in the Central Plains. LCS programs produce 2,500 new crosses annually, a proportion of which are HRWW lines. 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 Central Plains. During off-season months, rapid cycle germplasm progression occurs through our single seed descent facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Additional technologies like marker-assisted selection (MAS) are used to produce varieties containing specific genes that provide beneficial resistance to various pests and pathogens, as well as excellent end-use characteristics.

Proven Winter Wheat Varieties

At LCS, we are proud of the fact that all of our HRWW 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.
