(Secale montanum or wild rye is now transformed into a grain plant similar to Secale cereale. This has taken many years of work. This world first is another tribute to PSR's pioneering spirit... we have turned a wild perennial grass into a perennial grain)
Mountaineer Perennial Grain
Large seed, easily threshed from the slow or non-shattering heads. Flowers and matures grain earlier than any other perennial rye. More drought resistant, vigorous, and longer lived than Varimontra. Moderate rust resistance, excellent forage grass for late summer-fall after the grain harvest. Grain is good for rolling or milling for cereal use.
