Some interesting wheat breeding work going on in the US. A different approach from the Organic Research Centre population breeding work but with a similar hypothesis but perhaps with a more directly commercial approach. It will be interesting to see whether any of the resulting varieties may be of direct interest to the UK or whether it is the methodology we should adopt to seek to develop more suitable varieties for organic systems our conditions.
Also, they are exploring the potential for mechanical weed control with minimal soil disturbance which may be of relevance to those exploring non-inversion tillage systems.
