Description
With excellent end-use quality and stripe rust resistance, Millie offers growers an opportunity to explore the hard white wheat market. While lower yielding than top hard red winter varieties, Millie has demonstrated stable performance across low rainfall, intermediate rainfall, and irrigated growing conditions in Oregon.
