Whatever your needs are, we will strive to meet them and provide you good quality hay at fair market price. The straw we bale is typically wheat straw, which is generally softer and more desirable for bedding. If there is a demand for it, we will also bale barley straw.
This publication provides results of barley field trials for the 2019-2020 season. These trials included both spring and winter types, 2-row and 6-row types, which represented the stock of commercially available barley varieties along with experimental lines from public barley breeding programs across the US.
In 2013, evaluations of malt barley varieties in Texas began in order to determine the feasibility of barley production in the state for malting and distilling. This publication will provide information from the 2018 harvest year.
Introduction. At one point in time, barley was grown on nearly 600,000 acres in Texas (NASS, 2014), but acres steadily decreased to roughly 15,000 acres by the end of the century (1999 final year reported by NASS). As acres decreased in the state, so did active barley breeding and research.
We produce our straw from premium barley or wheat. It’s a great option for animal bedding, composting and chicken coops. Find a retailer near you.
Breeding priorities are forage and grain yield, winterhardiness, straw strength, and pest resistance. Barley research focuses on the genetics of disease resistance and barley disease epidemiology. The most important barley disease in Texas continues to be barley yellow dwarf virus.
Oats, with a weaker straw than wheat or barley, sometimes presents additional harvesting problems. Wind, hail, rain, insects, and plant stress may cause lodging, increased harvesting cost and reduced grain quality.
