Sirish barley is a high yielding, two row barley not yet accepted for malt.  It is the shortest barley variety available and is becoming a very popular choice for the feed market.  This variety is known for its strong straw, making it ideal in high fertility situations.

CDC Churchill was the highest yielding malt barley tested in the area last year.  This is a shorter variety commonly grown for both malt and feed.

CDC Austenson is still the highest yielding barley in Manitoba.  This 2-row variety is ideal for the feed market with its high test weight, and large, plump kernels.

CDC Copeland is still the preferred variety by most maltsters with its excellent brewing characteristics.
