InterGrain Cereal Breeding

Ember barley (left) alongside Goldie oats (right) south of Wagga Wagga NSW. Sown on 11 April, and photo taken 6 weeks later, shows excellent establishment of these varieties, as well as the prostrate growth habit of Ember compared with the high early vigour of the Goldie dual purpose oat which will mature with a tall plant height with good panicle emergence.

IGW8247 is a new high yielding, mid-slow maturity ANW with excellent disease resistance, yield potential in high yielding environments and udon sensory characteristics. Ideally suited to late-April to early-May sowings.
Seed is available through Eastern Districts Seed Cleaning Co or your local seed reseller, or contact InterGrain Territory Managers Georgia Trainor or Richard Marsland for more info.

Congratulations to Peter (pictured with InterGrain's Matthew Naumann) and Wayne Anderson of Oakey QLD, who were announced as winners of the Toowoomba Royal Showgrounds 2026 Irrigated Winter Crop competition with Jumbuck wheat. Grown in the 2025 season, Jumbuck yielded 7.254 t/ha. Peter said he felt there was further yield upside that could be achieved with the variety and plans to sow Jumbuck again in 2026.
