Ceres

Triticum aestivum

Ceres is a rare bearded bread wheat developed in 1918 by the North Dakota Experimental Station from a Marquis × Kota cross. It matures a bit earlier than Marquis and offers heavier yields, making it a dependable, high-performing choice for bread wheat growers.

Growing instructions

For spring wheat: Direct sow in mid to late spring once soil temperatures reach 4-10 degrees or when soil can be "worked". Planting early is recommended to maximize yield.

For winter wheat: Direct sow in late August to late-September. Germinated seeds develop a crown 3-4 leaves before going dormant over winter. The exact planting window depends on your specific region to balance root growth with the risk of freezing damage before winter.

Wheat can be sown 2cm deep in full sun to partial shade.
