Winter Barley varieties

[neilo]

I couldn’t find a thread this year, so thought I’d start another.

Like many, I had no surviving W.Barley crops this year so have a blank canvass for a change of variety. I changed from Cassia to Orwell a few years ago, resulting in more ears making it to the combine. All barley is sold ex-farm for feed.

Is there anything better than Orwell these days?

We won't be changing from Memento. Two years and done well. Yield down this due to the weather but excellent bushel weight and doesn't brackle. And on balance it did over 4 tonne/10 tonne/ha last year
