@oldipp We didn’t. But it does stand up very nice. Has the highest straw strength rating of any barley so I would expect it should be a straight cut candidate.
Super impressed with the new barley variety CDC Durango. It seems to be one that truly delivers what it promises! If you’re a fees barley grower, Od definitely recommend considering switching up to this one for 2025.
Got to see a couple legends today! Ed assured me he’s quite a bit older than these varieties and rattled off many many previous to these they’ve grown. They grew AC Metcalfe for 22 years straight! They’re onto CDC Fraser now so call @CamSeidle for #plant23 seed @saskseed
Honoured to have our farm pictured on the back cover of Seed World Magazine. We are very optimistic that CDC Fraser will make similar contributions to our farm as did the landmark varieties Harrington and AC Metcalfe! If 2023 is any indication, then I’d say it’s well on its way!
Loving our CDC Fraser. From the sounds of what I’m hearing it could have a real good future in the malt industry. Here’s hoping as it’s sure nice to work with!
CDC Durango is looking good. We have high expectations for this new feed barley. Seeded in a split field with CDC Austenson, so will be a nice comparison. Anyone wanting to check it out this summer, just give me a shout!
