Key messages
  • The Wickliffe Hillbillies team are winners of the Rural Finance barley challenge at the Dunkeld site for the second year in succession with the highest margin of $554/ha.
  • Grain quality caused all the teams to have deductions off their grain price, with only the Wickliffe Hillbillies making a malt grade. This was the difference between them coming 1st rather than 2nd.
  • For further take home messages please see the attached trial report.
