Consistency in Yield
Belfry is the highest performing and consistent winter barley in Ireland, beating control yields in 46 out of 51 DAFM winter barley trials (2016-2023).
Excellent specific weight
Getting the most from Belfry

Apply fertiliser early in spring (gs 25)
Apply plant growth regulator early in spring (gs 30)
Drill in continuous barley slot to overcome stubble borne disease like rhyncho etc.
