Anyone know if splendor spring barley is wanted for malting? n 1.65 germ 99%

No idea on your question, but can I ask how it yielded? I’ve Splendor in this year, replacing Planet for it’s better brackling resistance. It looks a fantastic crop, but wondering how much of that is down to growing conditions rather than variety?

Sorry for the delay in replying. It yielded very close if not 8t/ha. Seems a lot easier to combine as didn’t brackle like propino. Sold it to @Tom1 at Saxon agri, will be 5* service so long as we get paid😀😀

Thanks. Very pleased with ours too, and far less brackeling than previous Planet crops, although some of that might be the weather of course).
Certainly looking to plant it again anyway.👍
