Characteristics
About
KWS Aintree, first out the blocks, is a very exciting potential group 4 barn filler, its treated yield is what really makes it stand out from the pack, you won’t need a photo finish for this one as it’s ahead of the competition! This variety has had consistent high yields in all three trial years (2023 110%, 2024 111%, 2025 110%). A taller type, therefore not suitable for early drilling, however, potential later drilling opportunities could be very useful on farm. KWS Aintree could work as a very good on farm partner to the likes of KWS Dawsum, with that added benefit of OWBM and later drilled performance.
