I know where there is some of the above available, what is its good/bad points and how will it yield?? ( both grain and straw )
Doh, sorry, 3t/acre...
Mind was on fert rates earlier and think in terms of kg/ha for that......
From our experiance of westminster, have grown it for a few years, I think it has the edge on grain yield but Propino tops it on straw. Malting price for Propino though gives us the better margin.
We reaaly pushed one field of westminster last year on some good ground and that pushed 4t/acre but some went flat.
What rates of N are you using for a 3t/a yield?
Thats quite a lot of N for the bit you "pushed." What was the grain nitrogen %?
I didn't think you were supposed to use sewage on Malting Barley.
