Anybody had their spring barley tested yet? RGT Planet N content averages 1.76 here.

Planet 1.8n surprising as grew for feed now going for malt- suffolk

 

[robbie]

I haven't bothered having mine tested as I didnt think the premium was worth it and the market would be awash with malting barley.

Planet tested at 1.81n and has now gone into soufflet malt at burton on Trent this week.

 

[T Hectares]

Planet 1.45 - 1.6% N
Lowest I've grown, wasn't expecting that this year.

Worth having a test or two, offered £20/t over feed price.

Bugger that's good, the best I've heard anyone being offered around here for either winter or spring is £132

Anyone seeing skinning as an issue with malting barley this year? We haven’t cut any yet but our cooperative is reporting higher than normal skinned grain in samples so far.

Isn’t that just the usual when they’ve too much barley. Seems to be the usual story round here. Haven’t cut any yet to find out.

How did it yield?

 

[tw15]

In the old days you cut it open the whiter the grain the lower the n .

 

[T Hectares]

How did it yield?

Approx 7t/ha average, similar to last year but a switch from Propino to Planet and a tiny bit less N due to Planets flat N response curve...

Aberdeenshire is cutting barley first in scotland
World has gone mad

 

[Woldgrain Storage]

It's a very mixed picture, but still early days.

We've had 1,100mt Planet within malting spec, averaging 1.74n

plus 770mt of Planet which has been graded as feed, averaging 2.09n

Our intake is now 31% complete.

I had a load rejected at intake today for skinning at 8.8% . 8% seemingly the new limit as of now.
Laureate at 1.38N
Its very unusual for us.

Who has moved to 8%? Presumably a reaction to expected skinning levels this year. Are the buggers taking claims from a lower level?
Hopefully your later cut Laureate will have lower skinnings. Seems to be worse with early cut, not too bad for a while, then bad again with anything cut late. Good Nitrogen levels though
