OEL is excited to announce its status as a C&M dealer to enhance its wheat seed portfolio. A couple varieties worth looking at are Blaze and Fuze: Blaze is a tried-and-true familiar variety with strong agronomic background resistant to fusarium and stripe rust. Newer variety Fuze is a short, high yielding variety where the standability looks great! Interested in Hard Red Wheat? We have that too! Contact the Centralia office for more details.
