Preliminary North Dakota Barley and Oat Variety Trial Results for 2004 and
2005 Selection Guide
Robust Declining, But Again Top Barley Variety in N.D.
Robust remained the top barley variety in N.D. for 2004, though seeded on the fewest acres in two decades. It accounts for 44.1% of the 1.65 million acres planted, continuing a downward
trend from a high of 81.2% in 2001. The 1983 Minnesota release has been North Dakota’s leading variety 19 of the last 20 years.
Legacy is the second most popular variety this year, surpassing Lacey and Conlon, which dropped to third and fourth respectively. Drummond is fifth, up from seventh last year. These five
malt barley varieties account for 82.2% of this year’s barley acres in North Dakota.
Haybet is the top feed variety and ranks sixth overall. Tradition places seventh and is recommended by the American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) as a malting variety, though just released in 2004. AC Metcalfe completes the top eight.
