Malting Barley December 2020
Once again malting barley has shown its extraordinary ability to flip the form book on its head and turn a large theoretical surplus into a much smaller one or even a deficit! A combination of some late sowing, a very dry spring, June rains and a wet 2nd half of August has resulted in a barley crop with record high nitrogen levels, poor yields in many areas and some very weathered parcels of barley. All in all, absolutely not what was anticipated but how many times in the last few years have we heard and seen that?
