About this variety
Joey is a triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, and the hybrid explains what the crop offers. It combines the hardiness of rye with the productivity of wheat, giving high yields and quality feed on country where wheat alone would struggle.
It is known for excellent winter forage and fast growth, with good tolerance of both drought and acid soils. Acid tolerance in particular widens the country it can be grown on, since soil acidity limits root growth and therefore yield for many cereals.
Joey is versatile across end uses: grazing, hay, silage and cover cropping are all practical from the same sowing, and that flexibility is worth a good deal in a season that does not develop as expected.
It suits growers wanting reliable winter feed with the option of taking the crop through to grain or conserving it, particularly on lighter or more acid country where wheat is marginal.
