To provide a barley variety update.
The growing season both regionally and nationally was characterised by very favourable late spring conditions, favouring later maturing varieties. For many growers, the rains arrived in time to allow average to above average yields, particularly for the later maturing varieties. But for some growers, and for very early maturing varieties, the crops had past the point of response and disappointing yields resulted. In most areas, grain plumpness has been quite good although cleaved grain has been a problem in some of the earlier maturing areas.
