Low Brackling Winter Barley variety

[Northdowns Martin]

Noticed AHDB don't get a brackling score for WB only Springs. Anyone care to recommend a winter barley with good resistance to brackling? Grew Surge this year which was ok but not good enough to leave a long stubble.

There are brackling scores from the ahdb trial, but you need to look at the Excel file not the PDF, on the ahdb website. I I can't add Excel files on posts but what I have added is a PDF of the Brackling scores from last year's winter barley trials. There is very little data to date from this year's trials.

My Orwell and Flynn cut couple of days ago were bolt upright, whether that is typical of those varieties will need a "normal" season or two to establish..
