it just may go down...
not over numerous small ears.
I am veering more and more to dropping hybrids and going back to something like KWS Funky!
like this??? Ground hasn’t had barley for 15 years. Samples are at niab now to see what the contamination isMy thoughts are exactly the same here, Shutesy.
Being able to go for an increased margin by growing from FSS a conventional variety of equal merit, on yield and quality, to the hybrids
That was until walking, today, our very best field of Funky which we had intended to keep for seed, when I discovered a better than 5% or so two-row contamination.
This was a bit of a shock, so I then went to check another two or three fields of Funky.
All the same.
Must have come in with the seed as we haven't grown any two-row here for more than 30 years.

Can't like that, b****y annoying and nothing you can do about it other than buy in seed again and hope its clean this time.My thoughts are exactly the same here, Shutesy.

Like your thinkingYou're too pessimistic, Shutesy.
I suspect they'll end up by sending us a load of replacement seed, cleaned and dressed, at close to our own cost of production (£225/tonne)
Will do. I bought a tonne of new seed to grow on. It’s a shame it’s contaminated with two row. But I suppose there’s nothing I can do about it. Was going to have 200 acres of funky this year.
With the exeption of it not ripening at the same time and putting a few green ones in the tank, It's all feed and if you grow it on you'll just have a blended variety which may help increase bushel weights and give a better sample.Can't like that, b****y annoying and nothing you can do about it other than buy in seed again and hope its clean this time.
