Ramsbury Estate Skyway Spring Barley Day

Steve Corbett chats to Ronan Hughes about this unique event that connects what happens in the field to what end users and customers want.  

​​​​​​​John Miles and Paul Bury discuss the opportunity for barley in the face of changing consumer demands.

Paul highlights how the development of new varieties adds real value for growers on farms, beyond yield advances. 

Steve Corbett challenges visitors to rethink their approach to soil and highlights why there's still so much we don't know about our soils. 

Managing the crop from drilling to harvest, Tim Horton and Thomas Perrott discuss different approaches to crop management and nutrition throughout the season. 
​​​​​​​ 
How can we capitalise on varietal characteristics and soil management techniques to give your crop the best chance to thrive?

John Harper is joined by Richard Hutchinson of CLAAS to discuss the importance of harvest timing and combine calibration for Spring Barley crops. 

Tibor Horvath (Head of Brewing, Ramsbury Brewery & Distillery) talks us through the process of taking grain from the farm and turning it into beer (and vodKa/gin for the wheat grown on site).
