[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7607906, member: 44728"] I replaced all my 2nd Wheats (and even some 1st’s) with Hybrid Barley because it is so good at suppressing BG. We get much higher yields of Barley than we would have Wheat at a fraction of the growing costs, even when you put in the costs of the seed. However, you can’t Home Save Seed (though I know somebody that does so successfully!). BYVD can be a problem. But 2 new 6 row conventional W Barleys, Rafaela and Sensation will yield as well if not better, suppress BG and are BYDV resistant. IMO these will end Hybrid Barley usage because we can use conventional seed rates and HSS. And you can drill W Barley in September, without have to delay because of BG. One thing you must not allow with Hybrids is to let them go yellow in Feb/March because they will lose tillers very quickly. So early N is a must. We Ice-road-truck a 1/3rd of the total on during frosty weather as from 14th Feb. All the rest goes on in one dose end of March/early April. [/QUOTE]
