[QUOTE="Chieftain, post: 7832128, member: 109632"] Depends what you want out of it really. For straw purposes I doubt you can get much better because it's high yielding and good quality unlike wheat. On sand where barley and wheat struggle for moisture it's great for it's drought resistance too. In that period in early spring where it didn't rain for over a month, ours was only starting to yellow off a bit in the last week but it soon recovered with some water on it. Grain's really the side product, feed standard stuff is really the best bet if you can use it yourself too. Probably not the ideal crop as a spring variety really because you want it standing and dry. It's like rope if it starts getting tangled together and a small combine simply wouldn't be able to process it if it was damp with how much volume is going in. [/QUOTE]
