Testimonials
Rob Jackson, Malting Barley Technical Expert
SY ARROW is an exciting new spring malting barley variety from the same breeding programme that brought you the number one variety LAUREATE. From the beginning it was evident that SY ARROW has a really strong disease and agronomic package in addition to high yield and excellent malting quality. The earlier maturity of SY ARROW is one particular feature that will be attractive to many growers in the North of the UK, helping to secure quality premiums at harvest.
