The most popular variety in Scotland with 30% market share. Skyscraper not only offers potential premiums for distilling but also proven suitability for high sterility areas. Furthermore, it is one of the highest yielding soft wheats on the RL, and has been extremely consistent since its introduction. Current growers will be aware of the need for careful straw management, and a robust fungicide programme for its susceptibility to septoria. It's performed well as a second wheat which not only helps Skyscraper position itself on a farm level but also when sown later, the management of septoria and straw is easier.Â
