The 2018 recommended lists of spring cereals varieties contain three new barely varieties. Gangway, Hacker and Limona are provisionally recommended and they all have a good package of straw, yield and disease resistance characteristics.
Gangway is the highest yielder on the list (106) with good straw but it would be on the later side of ripening date. It has very good resistance to mildew and net blotch with good resistance to rhyncho and brown rust. Grain size is average but it has good specific weight.
Hacker has a good yield rating of 102.
