Sowing winter barley in October
Question
Is it too late to sow winter barley?
Responses
Answer 1
The critical thing is getting the crop established and away. Another week to 10 days and its probably better to wait and sow spring barley.
Answer 2
Its never too late to get a crop but youll lose so much yield its not worth it to drill now. Youre better off waiting till you can drill spring barley – as early as you can get on the land in February.
