Abstract
Although sowing of spring barley was satisfactorily completed by March, and the crop looked promising, even after the cold wet weather of early summer, many fields in Scotland were badly laid in July and harvest there did not begin till the third week of August. Some reasonably good Scotch barley was combined or put into stack between mid-August and mid-September, but the ears were less well filled than usual and nitrogen tended to be high. Yields in Scotland were some 10–15% lower than in 1952; in Yorkshire, however, yields were at least as good as those of last year. Short-strawed varieties—principally Ymer—account for over 80% of the Scottish crop, and even in Shropshire—traditionally a Plumage-Archer county—some 60% of the barley is of Scandinavian type. While Ymer is not considered to be a suitable malting barley, Carlsberg has some merits; Proctor and Beorna, the new hybrids of Archer type with Scandinavian varieties, show considerable promise. The new arrangements for calculation of purchase prices for 1954 barleys are discussed in detail.
