Barley

Wynnstay offers extensive winter barley varieties with great yield potential. 

KWS Hawking proved itself as a strong 2-row feed barley in the West, only being beaten this year by Bolton and KWS Tardis varieties new to the AHDB Recommended List. Both sport higher yields with good specific weights. Tardis will be marginally better for heavy soil or those wanting more straw, whereas Bolton is stronger in the East for feed. There is a new Hybrid Barley on the list also, SY Thunderbolt, bringing what we've come to recognise as superior reliability on farm, as well as high yields and early maturity for the rotation. It is also exciting that there will be a couple of varieties with BYDV tolerance available, with our pick being the 6-row conventional feed barley Sensation. Malting barley Craft will be popular again, please contact GrainLink, our specialist grain marketing business, if you are looking for any forward contracts.
