What Our Experts Say

Customer Testimonials

Farmer Paul Wilson - LG Skyscraper Winter Wheat
“There’s no reason for us to go away from growing LG Skyscraper, it yields year in and out, with the option of a soft milling premium, it's clean, has a good bushel weight and cuts easily – so what’s not to like?”
Paul Wilson, St Ives, Cambridgeshire
John Aynsley, LG Skyscraper wheat grower
"This will be the 3rd year we've grown LG Skyscraper...it suits our system; it works in an early drilling slot. It's got good disease resistance; it stands well, and it fits in well with the other varieties when we come to combining"
John Aynsley, Cleveland
John McCauley_LG Skyscraper winter wheat crop
"I like Skyscraper. I was combining for a neighbour who had LG Skyscraper and noticed the yield went up to 1.5t/ha."
