CDC Boundless sure is a bountiful variety! Glad to hear you’re happy with the results🫛
Finally started #harvest25 on our CDC Boundless yellow peas from @secan. Never have harvested test weights like this...ever. Unbelievable. Yielding very well, and VERY FEW cracks and splits. This new variety is available to growers starting August 1st for next year. Call to book!

Incredible vine length on the New CDC Tollefson Yellow Pea! ✔️Very high yield potential, 107% of CDC Amarillo ✔️Very good rating for lodging tolerance ✔️Good resistance to seed coat breakage ✔️Long vine length (90 cm) ✔️TKW 240 g/1000 seeds @Trueseedsltd #SeCan
Some areas are getting decent rain this year. Steve sent in a picture of his CDC Tollefson peas, standing tall! We will be checking in after #harvest25 to see how he made out. If you picked up seed from us this year, we would love to see your photos of how they are making out!

VIDEO: Cereal drought tolerant ratings hard to compile

Cereals and most crops have ratings for disease resistance, yield potential, straw height and other traits, but not drought tolerance.
