$100.00

MN Kernza® available for immediate delivery!  The newest variety released by the University of Minnesota, bred for larger kernel size, less lodging, and better threshing than traditional Intermediate Wheatgrass.  Seed sold by the acre with a guaranteed minimum of 10 PLS lbs/acre (based on seed test).

Price listed is per acre, select number of acres for order!

Kernza® is a perennial grain with exciting potential in various markets, including breads, cereal, beer, and spirits.  Developed by The Land Institute, Kernza is the result of many years’ work to improve genetics of Intermediate Wheatgrass, a perennial cool season grass.  It has the promise of many environmental benefits vs our current annual food crops, including an impressive root system that can grow down 10 feet or more to store carbon and prevent soil erosion.  More information about Kernza can be found here:
