Rob Bebbington of Fieldfare Farmers, Whitchurch, Shropshire harvesting a 19.64 hectare crop of Boost hybrid barley which achieved a yield of 3.71t/acre (9.16t/ha) (these are dry weights taken from the company’s weighbridge).

It is the first time that Rob has grown a hybrid barley variety.  The decision to grow a 6-row hybrid was taken after he had seen Boost perform well on neighbouring farms.

Fieldfare Farmers was established in 2000 as a joint machinery sharing venture, that quickly grew into a contract farming company.  It now operates a block cropping policy to reduce fixed costs to a minimum.
