Barley

3rd times the charm. Finally some barley that made malt. Metcalf.


And it was straight cut...


0.00% Chitted 57lbs 12.2 pro 0.1 stained 99% germ accepted

Is it still on your farm?
Did you receive a check for it yet?
There should be a discussion around the delivery of malt, taking samples as it unloads(every load)at the pit....splitting that sample.....and using sample and seal bags. Signed by both parties and the producer takes them for safe keeping.

Looks good. Fantastic bushel weight. Must be using an Avery bushel. Gotta watch those crooks buying barley on a Winchester bushel. 50lb Avery barely makes 48 lb Winchester.

Good on ya
Straight cut no matter what.
Keep that stuff cool and dry till they take it

Did you have lodged second growth like some barley in this area? Elevators say all chitted, but maltsters "might" lower standards, so wait, only till cows come home then they get CHEAP feed, er blend able stocks...
By 3rd time the charm, do you mean third field or third year trying?

Klause, my post wasn't meant to be belittling or condescending but to remind you to don't let down your guard and to stay on your toes!

Work safe everyone! (We're doing wheat now)

Have had two thirds or better of barley accepted for malt over past thirty years.
Figure one year out of three will not make it, either poor growing or harvest conditions.
No complaints about treatment from grain companies over the years.
Pleasant surprise to see good malt premiums now we can sell without going through the unmentionable.
Think this year is a record for malt versus feed premium.

If that crap made malt then I'm stylin LOL. Forced to swath this year for second growth. Never had to swath barley before. What a pita.

which is why you should use gms/half liter

Looks like plenty of green kernels, they didn't have anything to say about that?

No lodging and no 2nd growth. Lots of p and k and very little N. N that we did put on we had floated on with a vr floater so no overlaps and very careful with how much went on where. Seemed to work this year.


Those green kernels are from around all the sloughs... we need to drain those 3 quarters. 287 acres on all 3 of them combined.
