Premiums for malting barley are looking interesting at the moment, with prices at a similar level for winter and spring barley. Winter crops have the potential for higher yields, so winter
malting barley could be a popular choice for autumn 2021 drilling. In the East of England there are some good options available for different markets:
CRAFT is the number 1 winter malting barley in the UK, with the highest area grown for seed production in 2021 and the highest level of grain purchased by maltsters across the UK in 2020. Demand is strong for CRAFT, giving a secure market for sales at the end of the season. CRAFT was bred to replace SY VENTURE, and it has vastly improved grain quality, with high specific weight, low screenings and very high Hot Water Extract. It is a stiff-strawed variety, with ratings of 6 for all foliar diseases on the 2021/22 AHDB Recommended List, making it a reliable variety to grow.
