CONLON BARLEY

CONLON is a Two Row Feed/Malt Variety released in North Dakota. Introduced to Manitoba in 2002, acres planted to CONLON in Manitoba soon increased and has been the # 1 barley in Manitoba since 2004! CONLON is a malt variety, but mostly malsters only select CONLON when the supplies of other varieties are limited.
What really impresses me about CONLON is the consistent quality, yield and early maturity. CONLON always delivers quality and high energy . . . always, you can bank on it. J.S.

“We grew CONLON beside our AC Metcalfe barley in 2001.The CONLON was earlier maturing and stood much better than our AC Metcalfe. At harvest we got a better yield with CONLON but what really impressed us was the superior bushel weight and the large sized kernels. We’ll definitely be growing this variety again.”

RANDY FALK - Crystal City
“CONLON barley is the highest quality barley we’ve ever grown.”

For Manitoba Barley Yield Data: Check the Manitoba's Management Plus Program when it is updated. CONLON was amongst the highest yielding 2-row barleys grown in Manitoba according to "Yield Manitoba 2003-2006" data every year since introduction.

We feel CONLON barley is for the farmer that wants a barley that will consistently provide the highest quality barley year after year.

CONLON needs high end growers with good management practices such as high fertility and high seeding rates. We are currently working on getting greater acceptance of CONLON from the Canadian maltsters.

Our experience in growing CONLON and US data leads us to believe the yields of CONLON are comparable to Robust. CONLON is an early heavy barley that needs to be harvested early. Some yield trials are harvested extremely late considering CONLON’S early maturity and this can result in skewed yield results.
