Final field of our own crops for 2018 nearing completion this afternoon! Still some left to harvest for neighbours. This is Gangway seed barley for @Goldcrop sown on Apr 29th, just over 15 weeks ago. Moisture <20% & 66KPH Will update yield when available @John_Dunne_ @fredjlynch

Not all of our work takes place in the field these days. @CDRobertsen is in the malting lab testing the quality of potential new #maltingbarley varieties.

Great to see the superb work being done @PlantBreedFarm in Denmark, the attention to detail + ambition for the future is obvious. Breeders of Gangway, Paustian, Rockefeller and new for 2019 will be Prospect spring barley for distilling. 🥃 #EmbracingNature #breedingforthefuture

@PlantBreedFarm @Goldcrop Thanks a million for a very enjoyable visit. It’s hard to complain about sunshine! Greatly impressed with the team, facilities and attention to detail. Your varieties Paustian & Gangway are big hits in Ireland - Prospect spring barley looks very exciting!

Spreading NPK+S on the Cellule this morning. It’s not harvested yet but I really like the look of the variety. Clean, well tillered and vigorous. November sown on high ground after beans. @GroupeFDesprez @TeagascCrops
