UK: Barley grower reported average yield of 7.5t/ha in Wiltshire
Wiltshire grower Roger Moore told Farmers Weekly Interactive (FWI)’s Harvest Highlights he had finished a very good harvest at Manor Farm, Salisbury, FWI said August 25.
Spring barley yielded slightly below average at just under 7.5t/ha (3t/ac), but quality was good. Thirty-two hectares (80ac) of Troon looked “very promising for the distilling market in Scotland”.
He also cut 40ha (100ac) of Optic for seed. “I’d like to think we could wean off Optic for malting with new varieties coming along, but then the demand is still there for it.”
Crop: Spring barley
Variety: Optic and Troon
Area: 72ha
Yield: 7.5t/ha
