RSI wheat varieties are protected under the U.S. Plant Variety Protection (PVP) Act and/or the U.S. Patent Act. Unauthorized seed multiplication and sale are prohibited. Violators deprive plant breeders of revenue needed to support the development of new, improved varieties, and risk prosecution and substantial penalties. RSI grants to the seed buyer of patented varieties a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the purchased seed for the sole purpose of producing grain and/or forage for processing or feeding.
  

  
Triticale
Worldwide there are hundreds of varieties of triticale. They differ widely in important traits such as cold tolerance, growth habit, maturity, length of awns (“beards”), and yield. Some varieties are for grazing, some for silage, others for grain. Major problems can occur when a variety is sold for the wrong use or brought into an area for which it is not adapted.
Choosing the right variety of triticale is the key to a successful and profitable outcome!
Resource Seeds is the leading source of triticale varieties for forage, grain, and cover crop use in the U.S. Brands of triticale developed by Resource Seeds include :

Resource Seeds conducts intensive screening and performance tests in target markets throughout the U.S. to develop and select superior products adapted to those markets. Through its own research efforts and acquisition of other triticale breeding programs (ARCO/TRICAL, Pioneer Hi-Bred, Foster Farms Poultry), Resource Seeds has attained the world's most diverse and commercially important collection of winter, spring, and facultative triticale germplasm.

In addition to its own breeding programs, Resource Seeds tests and markets varieties from other leading breeding programs based other parts of the world to identify and obtain the best triticale varieties for silage, hay, pasture, cover crop and grain.

SorgoMax Forage for California
SorgoMax forages include forage sorghum, sorghum-sudangrass and sudangrass. These diverse forages can fit into forage production systems in a number of ways. Compared to corn, a well-chosen forage sorghum can produce a high-quality silage crop in a shorter time, with less water, and less ideal soil conditions, providing an ideal double-crop complements to triticale forage and other cool-season cereal forages.
