Claymore feed barley

[Guest]

Anyone have any experience growing this feed barley ? Looking at growing some , can't find any austinson?

Is it Canmore you are refering too? Never heard of Claymore barley but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Seen some nice canmore two years ago but have not grown it myself. Biggest thing to ask about with barley is how it stands up to excessively wet as barley doesn't like wet feet. Saw barley that was a foot high and yielding next to zero under wet conditions last year. Know of some Austenson but in SE Alberta but back haul could work if you PM me.

Great question, I've yet to find a variety that likes wet feet any better than any others. Have you found something that will tolerate saturated ground better?

Going to be hard to find feed barley. Seed is being gobbled up due to the lateness. Champion is a great high yielding variety. Grew it in 12, 115 bu, that was hauled out yield. Weighed 57 lbs!
