[QUOTE="Joe Boy, post: 2865608, member: 1517"] It looked great all year but yield was slightly lower yield than I was hoping for. 60ha has averaged roughly 7.5/tha which is similar to Tower and Glacier. All varieties had same inputs including170kg/ha N. Yield variation field to field was greater than variations between varieties so I cannot say it defiantly yields any more or less. What is interesting is that it achieved 59 specific weight whereas Tower 57.7 and Glaicer 56.3. The Fletcher was direct drilled with Claydon and the conventional was ploughed and combination drilled due to blackgrass. Maybe the wide rows helped with the grain size. It stayed much greener than conventional barley during the winter and was two weeks quicker to grow away in the spring, this allowed it to dominate the blackgrass really well. This year im going to direct drill all my barley and it's all Fletcher. [/QUOTE]
