FLORENCE
High yielding, top quality feed barley
Florence is a very high yielding feed spring barley with yields above all malting barleys.
Florence is in tests and trials in several European countries. With yield advantages across all UK regions over the market
leading varieties, combined with superb brackling and lodging resistance, early ripening, very good disease resistance and
excellent grain quality, Florence will be in demand.
