Wheat Varieties - Indiana climate and soil conditions are well suited for growing high quality soft red winter wheat but unfavorable for good quality hard wheat. Dual Vermillion and Knox are new high yielding varieties. Dual is fly resistant; Knox and Vermillion are early; Vermillion is very winter hardy.
