Preparing Land For Spring-Sown Barley
Land for spring-sown oats and barley should be prepared a r , soon as soil conditions are suitable and the prior crop can be cleared off. Barley is grown for greenfed, malting, and stock feeding. For malting, the maltster requires barley of a suitable variety, high germination and good quality.. The standard malting varieties recommended by the _ Department of Agriculture for spring sewing the Golden Archer, Plumage Archer, Spratt Archer, and Kinver Chevalliter. Research is the most widely grown variety, but because of unevenness in ripening it is not regarded as a malting variety. However, its yielding ability makes it very popular with farmers, and selection work is in progress to obtain a more evenly maturing type of this variety. A variety grown commonly in the Marlborough district as Pryor or as Marlborough Chevallier (quite distinct from Kinver Chevallier) is of inferior malting quality and could with advantage be replaced with one of the better malting varieties.
