I've only grown propino as a spring. All my winter attempts end up around 2. They only take all the bonus away for skinning, germination anyway. Bit of a lark, like peas.

I know nothing about light and sandy , just heavy wet shite .
That definitely sound more like wheat land to me.
(Please bear in mind I’ve only ever grown 2 crops of feed spring barely in my life and no crops of winter and I farm on light land. So please consider me the authoritative expert on growing barley on heavy land!)

Our long dead neighbour used to do it every year.....
  1. Limestone brash/sand
  2. no N
  3. home saved seed (stared out as Proctor, but no idea what it would be 30 yrs later, by the time he died :facepalm:
  4. sheep - he walked his stubbles all winter with sheep
  5. not great yields but it went for malting every year
