Winter feed barley has been the star performer of 2015, with many growers seeing double-digit yields, with both conventional and hybrid types."On the whole it has been a pretty easy year, with disease pressure fairly low and crops maturing early and so escaping damage from the weather," says Clare Leaman, cereals specialist at Niab. "Most reports have been of high yields in all regions, with varieties ranking as expected."
