Tillage editor Andy Doyle is in the fields showing winter barley crops at different stages of flowering.

In the last issue of the Irish Farmers Journal, Andy Doyle visited fields in east Cork with winter barley crops.
“One of the fields I visited had a mix of two- and six-row present, but given the variability of the six-row, it was probably a result of six-row volunteers from a previous harvest. But barley volunteers in a barley crop will not be a problem compared with an oat or wheat crop,” Andy said.
"One crop I visited was at varying stages of flowering, with some ears not yet started, while others were 25% to 75% complete. And it was obvious that the six-row ears were more advanced with regard to flowering."
