PlainsGold Hatcher

With consistently high dryland yields and superior drought tolerance, Hatcher’s long-term stability has made it one of the most widely planted varieties in Colorado since 2001. Hatcher has an established reputation for recovering well from poor stands and has maintained an intermediate level of resistance to stripe rust since its release.
