Bolton
Two-Row Feed Barley
Bolton is a two-row winter barley that is producing consistently good yields across all regions
and is particularly strong in the east. Bolton has short, very stiff straw giving both strong lodging
resistance and good brackling resistance. The variety produces high quality grain with good
specific weight and very low screening levels. Bolton has no real weaknesses in its disease
profile making it a strong all-round package.
