In our inaugural episode, we talk with Dr. Aaron Beattie, Crop Development Centre, University of Saskatchewan about new barley varieties. We cover Aaron’s new general purpose line, supported for registration in February. It doesn’t even have a name yet (tested as TR19175). We also touch on seed multiplication, including when TR19175 will be available and how the variety registration system works, as well as new traits available for Saskatchewan barley growers in the new variety releases.
