[QUOTE="sahara, post: 8187780, member: 76228"] Thank you, that's very kind. The variety is Cassia, we have been growing it for a few years now, it seams to like our farm and do fairly well for us. We rather like it, its one of the earlier ones to mature, so that helps workload. It also had the highest bushel weight and it threshes well to give a nice sample. I hate trying to predict Barley yields, as a crop it often flatters to deceive as it grows and ripens, and then when you get all the truck weights and do your calculations you discover that it was all mouth and no trousers! Having said all that it should do 3ton to the acre. We are light to medium soils and will never consistently get the monster yields that other do, its had about 170Kg/Ha of N, so a fairly standard dose. Ironically I was going to start a thread on what variety to potentially replace the Cassia with, perhaps I don't need to! [/QUOTE]
