Barley Yield Trials
Our plots were taken off at the end of harvest, which had the big snow on them that impacted grade and quality. Yield was lower than some of our other fields but that is normal for the field it was on (moving fields next season). I would have liked to have this out sooner but November- December is very busy in the office for me.
Moisture was higher on a malt variety compared to the others, maybe it is a malt type issue.
AB Cattlelac is a new 6 row feed and forge type. It yielded the best for us with good bu weights and all the data on forage yields looks good as well!
The malt variety Bill Coors 100 is being contracted on irrigation in Southern Alberta and Kris will be at our Dec 17 meeting to talk about the Coors program. (our main seed field averaged 153 bu per acre, yield map here)
