If your growing it, how are you getting on with it? Costs to grow? Output? What it like grass weed wise?
A good friend of mine has grown it for a couple of years on heavy land and has been pleased with it, BYDV resistant I believe.Agree with all of above … I’ve been growing hybrid barleys for a number of years including pre hybrid seed barley for Syngenta… I’m not sure I’ll continue with hybrids … one very annoying trait is seeing a lot of barley heads in wheat 2 years after… !
I’ve grown a very small acreage of Rafaela barley, six row from LG seeds … curious to see how it yields … Anyone else growing it ?
We have some just to try this year, looks slightly better than the bazooka that is on the headlands of the same field.Agree with all of above … I’ve been growing hybrid barleys for a number of years including pre hybrid seed barley for Syngenta… I’m not sure I’ll continue with hybrids … one very annoying trait is seeing a lot of barley heads in wheat 2 years after… !

Yes, growing Rafaela 6 row (non Hybrid) again, last year yield was excellent and it looks better this time around.Agree with all of above … I’ve been growing hybrid barleys for a number of years including pre hybrid seed barley for Syngenta… I’m not sure I’ll continue with hybrids … one very annoying trait is seeing a lot of barley heads in wheat 2 years after… !
