Characteristics
About
Funky is the only six-row conventional barley on the 21/22RL. It performs consistently across all regions in the UK (105% in the West) and has a high untreated yield (88%) due in part to its excellent all-round disease resistance.
At -1 maturity, it is the earliest to mature of any of the conventional winter barley feeds currently on the RL, and at 96 cm height without PGR, Funky is the shortest 6-row type with the stiffest straw on the market today.
