REDCHEQHEN Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Our local corn merchant has stopped selling Gem corn, but I've never used their malting barley, just use farm barley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy1980 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 yes the malting barley this year is very poor quality so far so hopefully they will get a new batch soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philg50 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Aye but it must be last years crop you are getting now .Now as far as i know malting barley and feed barley no difference except malting has a lower moisture content before being accepted ,so personally farm barley if cheaper for me IMO.

Hamfergy Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 The difference between mallting barley and feed barley is the nitrogen content and sometimes the bushel weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
