At present, we are leaders in the spring field bean market, including varieties such as Lynx, Genius, Futura and newer varieties including Loki and Ketu. We also have competitive oilseed rape varieties, for example Clubroot resistant varieties Crusoe and Crome, HEAR OSR varieties including Resort. Spring Peas including market leader Carrington and butterfly, marrowfats like Takayama and yellow Concerto. Finally we have '00' OSR Maverick, Murray and Vegas, all of which help the UK farmer to maximise their yield.
