Esma:
Esma is the complete package producers need to produce high yielding feed barley crops. Most feed barley varieties struggle to offer the straw strength needed when good growing conditions occur. This short sturdy variety resists lodging and allows for easy harvest. Esma has been our highest yielding barley variety by a large margin for three years running whether the season was dry or had better moisture. There is no better feed barley choice for Manitoba barley producers. Â
AB Advantage:
Big forage potential with excellent grain yield if taken to harvest. AB Advantage offers the smooth awned trait cattle feeders desire with thick vigorous growth to produce big forage tonnage. Unlike other forage barley varieties, AB Advantage also provides high grain yield and test weight should producers want to harvest some for grain. Blending service available for those looking for a ready to seed AB Advantage/Forage Pea blend.
