Barley Variety Notes & Comments
Baroness (WestBred): 2-row feed. Short straw and good lodging resistance; 2.5" shorter than Harrington. Equal or slightly later maturity than Harrington. High yield when tested in favorable moisture conditions. Average test weight. Stripe rust resistant.
Boulder (WestBred, 2005): 2-row feed. Composite-cross, non-Baroness derived. Height similar to Haxby. Heading 1 day later than Haxby, and 1 day earlier than Baroness. High yield, similar to Haxby. High test weight, 0.5 lb less than Haxby. Replacement for Baroness and Xena.
Challenger (WestBred, 2008): 2-row feed. Above average yield and test weight. Average height and maturity.
Champion (WestBred, 2007): 2-row feed. Medium stiff straw. Heading one day later than Haxby and Boulder. Very high yield, greater than for Boulder & Baroness. High test weight, 1 lb less than Haxby.
Charles: 2-row malt. Grown as a winter barley in Idaho, but has very low winter hardiness. Winter survival on tillage- fallow at Conrad was 40% in 2007, and 10% in 2008.
Conlon (ND, 1996): 2-row malt. Medium height, weak straw. Early maturity, 1-2 days earlier and higher test weight than Bowman. Developed for areas of heat & drought stress. High resistance to net blotch; susceptible to spot blotch & Fusarium head blight.
Conrad (Busch Ag): 2-row malt, Busch Agr Resources. About 2 inches shorter than Harrington. Medium maturity, similar maturity as Harrington. Higher yield than Harrington. Slightly higher test weight and plump than Harrington.
Copeland (Sask. Canada, 1999): 2-row malt. Better straw strength and earlier maturity than Harrington. Similar yield, test weight, and plump than Harrington. Net blotch resistant. Scald & Septoria susceptible.
Craft (MT970116; MSU, 2006): 2-row malt. Taller than Harrington & Merit. 2 days earlier heading than Harrington, but later heading than Hockett. High yield, test weight, & plump. Moderate stripe rust resistance. Susceptible to net blotch. European style of malt enzyme activity for microbrew market. AMBA approved for organic malt production.
Drummond (ND 15477): 6-row malt. Stronger straw than other 6-row malt types. Improved yield over Morex, Robust and Foster. Plump higher than Morex.
Eslick (MSU, 2005): 2-row feed. Height 1” taller than Baroness, 1” shorter than Haxby. Heading date similar to Harrington, and 1-2 days later than Haxby. Yield similar to Baroness and Haxby. Test wt = Baroness, greater than Harrington, and 2# less than Haxby. Eslick has superior performance in areas of ample moisture, while Haxby is preferred where lower moisture conditions are expected.
Geraldine (MT960101; MSU, Miller Brewing): 2-row malt for Miller Brewing Co. One day later heading than Harrington. Good performance on irrigated conditions; below average performance on dryland. Moderate stripe rust resistance.
Harrington (Sask. Can): 2-row malt. Medium height; medium weak straw. Medium-late maturity. Sensitive to hot dry areas; yields good in moist areas. Can sprout or germinate (internal falling number) at a lower moisture content than other varieties.
Haxby (MSU, 2002): 2-row feed. 3 inches taller and two days earlier than Baroness. Among highest yielders in Triangle Area. Highest test weight of all varieties. High feed quality. Non-Baroness derived, providing good diversity. Haxby has superior yield performance in lower moisture conditions, while Eslick has a yield advantage in high moisture conditions.
Hays (MSU, 2004): Hooded 2-row forage. Shorter than Haybet and more resistant to lodging. Higher grain yield than Haybet. Low test weight. Higher forage yield than Haybet and Westford (8%). Harvest between heading stage and 5 days post-heading for highest protein. Caution: any cereal grain grown for hay should be tested for nitrate level prior to cutting. Nitrates decrease during grain filling, but in drought conditions, nitrates may be high all season, unless irrigation is available.
Hockett (MSU, MT910189): 2-row malt for dryland. 4 days earlier than Harrington, and retains plump on dryland much better than Harrington. 5 bu/a higher yield than Harrington. Very susceptible to stripe rust.
Kendall (Can): 2-row malt. High irrigated yield.
Lacey (M98, MN 1999): 6-row malt. Intended to replace Robust. Height intermediate between Robust & Stander. Lodging resistance greater than Robust, but less than Stander.
Legacy (Busch Ag): 6-row malt. 2 to 4 inches taller than Harrington. Higher yield than Morex and Robust, but lower than Harrington. Has 30% resistance to vomatoxin. Very susceptible to stripe rust.
Merit (Busch Ag): 2-row malt. Late maturing, too late for dryland. Lodges easier than Harrington, but yields higher. Very high diastatic power for excellent malting ability. Net blotch resistance, and moderate Scald resistance.
Metcalfe (Manitoba Canada, 1994): 2-row malt. Replacement for Harrington in Canada. Medium straw strength. Latitude sensitive - higher yield, test weight and plump than Harrington in Canada, but similar to Harrington in Montana. Similar protein as Harrington. Medium-late, slightly earlier to head than Harrington. Moderate resistance to spot-form net blotch. Susceptible to scald and Septoria.
Stellar (ND16301, 2005): 6-row malt. Medium-short. Good straw strength and widely adapted across North Dakota. Medium maturity. High plump and low protein. Excellent malt quality. Moderate spot-blotch resistance. Net-blotch susceptible.
Stockford (WestBred, 2005). 2-row hooded hay barley. Height is 2” taller than Hays. Heading is 2 days earlier than Hays. Forage yield is similar to Hays and Haybet. Harvest between heading stage and 5 days post-heading for highest protein. Caution: any cereal grain grown for hay should be tested for nitrate level prior to cutting (see note for Hays).
Tradition (Busch Ag,): 6-row malt. Stiffer straw than Legacy, good lodging resistance. Higher yield, test weight and plump than Legacy and other 6-row varieties. Very susceptible to stripe rust.
Xena (WPB bz594-19): baroness/stark cross. 2-row feed. Two inches taller and better boot emergence than Baroness. Lodging resistance equal to Baroness. Late maturity, similar to Baroness. Better adapted to dryland than Baroness, (higher test wt and plump than Baroness on dryland). Equal or better yield than Baroness on dryland.
“BG Barley”: A food barley classification, and includes waxy hulless and waxy covered varieties. Beta glucan levels of BG varieties are 50% higher than for oats or pearled barley. Grain yields are generally lower than other barley varieties. End-use includes various foods, including rice-extender, ‘Heart Balance Cereal’ etc.

Planted April 7, 2016 on chemical fallow barley stubble. Harvest August 12, 14, 2016. Rained on the 12th of August.
Fertilizer, actual (lbs/ac): 11-22-0 place with seed at planting, 13-0-20 broadcast while seeding. Fertilizer rates are based on achieving malt grade barley.
Growing season precipitation: 8.05 inches.
Pre-plant sprayed with RT3 at 32 oz per acre on 4/8/15. The plot was sprayed with Bison @ 4 pts/ac and 16.4 oz/ac of Axial XL on 6/3/16.
1 Yield and test weight are adjusted to 13% seed moisture.
