At Jack Seed & Supply, we carry quality wheat varieties from trusted seed companies, helping producers select the right variety based on planting conditions, intended use, irrigation availability, and production goals.
Grain Wheat
Grain wheat varieties are selected for strong yield potential, test weight, standability, and disease tolerance. Whether you’re farming dryland acres or irrigated fields, we offer varieties designed to deliver dependable grain production across the High Plains.
Beardless Wheat
Beardless wheat is an excellent choice for producers harvesting hay or grazing livestock thanks to its smooth, awnless heads that improve palatability and reduce irritation to livestock. It provides high-quality forage while offering the versatility to be used for grazing, hay production, silage, or grain, making it a dependable option for a wide range of farming and ranching operations across the High Plains.
Grazing Wheat
Grazing wheat is an excellent option for providing abundant cool-season forage for cattle, sheep, and goats. Its rapid establishment, high forage quality, and ability to extend the grazing season make wheat one of the most widely planted forage crops in the region.
Dual-Purpose Wheat
Dual-purpose wheat allows producers to graze livestock during the fall and winter before harvesting the crop for grain. This flexible management system helps maximize the value of every acre while providing both forage and grain production from a single planting.
Hay & Silage Production
Wheat produces high-quality forage for hay and silage, making it a dependable choice for livestock operations. With proper harvest timing, wheat can provide excellent feed value while fitting seamlessly into many forage production systems.
