AAC Brandon

AAC Brandon is an awned, semi-dwarf CWRS spring wheat. It is attractive to wheat producers in the high-yielding areas of the Prairies who desire a short, strong strawed variety with good FHB resistance. Similar lodging tolerance and disease resistance to AC® Carberry with higher yield index, shorter straw, and earlier maturity. First commercially released in Western Canada in 2015. Introduced to Northeastern Ontario for its positive yield, agronomic and grain qualities.
