Description
Rare, legendary, high-quality landrace heirloom Hard Red Winter Wheat. Brought from Russia to Kansas by Mennonite Colonies in 1874. The iconic reputation of Kansas wheat traces back to the many millions of acres of Turkey Red grown a century ago. Following decades of nearly complete disappearance, Turkey Red has been saved from extinction in the last twenty years by organic farmer Bryce Stephens and his family’s fifth-generation farm in western KS. To grow for grain, plant in fall for harvest next summer. Heads have awns. Seed at 3 lbs. 1000/sq. ft. or 90lbs./acre. 15,000 seeds /lb.
