About this episode
Ever heard of taking two grain crops and crossing them to make a forage? Meet Triticale: the valuable rye/wheat cross that has the vigor and hardiness of rye, with the agronomics and quality of wheat. Racey Padilla is the Small Grains Research Director for the largest triticale breeding program in North America, TriCal Superior Forage. His farmer-first perspective fuels his breeding efforts – he's always trying to improve the stress tolerance and feed quality of the crop. Come along with Justin and Jared on this fascinating interview to learn about the behind-the-scenes of triticale breeding!
