France: The latest standing of barley crops
In France the crop of winter barley is not entirely done in the North, but generally results are very good.
Esterel barley came off the fields with good yields, average 7 tons/ha, 75 % of full barley (above 2,5 mm) and favourable protein contents averaging 10,5 - 11 %. Two-row winter barley Vanessa was better in grain size, 85 - 90 %, and higher in protein, 11 - 12 %, as usual.
Spring barley harvest is done South of Paris, well advanced in the East, but delayed North of Paris by frequent showers and rains.
Results so far are heterogeneous, the Dépêche Agricole estimates that 20 % of malting barley are lost because of lower yields and higher screenings, and at least another 10 % due to higher proteins.
Comparing with last year's record harvest, these figures are poor, but they still look good on the background of long-term average numbers.
