| | Triticale Helps Farmers Diversify (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Triticale, the result of a researcher-made cross between wheat and rye, is not widely sown, or even widely known, though it has been around since the 19th century, and CIMMYT has worked on it for more than 30 years. |
 | | Triticale is excellent in baked goods and flat breads, but its present appeal is that it gives farmers numerous options for feeding dairy and beef cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry. |
 | | Since triticale is tolerant to drought, frost, and problem soils, it can be grown in seasons and places where other crops will not grow so well, sometimes making it the only source of animal feed. |
