The long term average maturity for AC Metcalfe is 95 days and is rated as Medium (M). Varieties rated Intermediate (I) to Susceptible (S) for smuts should be treated with a systemic seed treatment to reduce the potential for infection. Hulless varieties leave the hull in the field and thus grain yields comparable to hulled varieties are 9-12% lower. Handling of hulless varieties should be minimized to avoid seed damage. CDC Carter, CDC McGwire, Falcon and Tyto are normal starch barleys suitable for food use.
