In 2022-2023 KSU forage tests, all three Ehmke Seed triticale varieties scored in the top yield group with ThunderTall and ThunderTall ll topping the trials with dry matter production of 7439 pounds and 7354 pounds when harvested at soft dough. These were irrigated trials at the Garden City Experiment Station.
In addition, ThunderCale V, a medium season, medium height variety known for outstanding grazing production, did well, too, in the hay-silage trials. For producers who want to graze their triticale and to harvest for hay or silage, you can’t ignore this variety.
