Elsoms Wheat
Investment
Elsoms Wheat represents a substantial investment in wheat breeding, elevating our Plant Breeding station in Spalding, Lincolnshire, to the top tier of such programs in the country. With a robust budget, cutting-edge genetics, and state-of-the-art technologies, Elsoms Wheat is geared to compete with multinational companies operating in the UK. The collaboration allows for an expansion of the plant breeding team at Spalding, providing access to a diverse range of technologies through the Saaten Union biotech lab. This integration will facilitate the transformation of our breeding program into a significant double-haploid system, accelerating the speed to market for improved wheat varieties.
