Excellent old variety but susceptible to smut (Tilletia maclaganii). 'Cave-In-Rock' and 'Blackwell' are excellent varieties further west in lower humidity and higher summer temperatures. Flood tolerant but withstands droughty soils. Fine for CRP as it will not be harvested.
Mix formulations are subject to change without notice depending upon availability of existing and new products. While the formula may change, the guiding philosophy and function of the mix will not.
