1) Excluding malting barley varieties
Samples of feed barley were sent in for the quality monitoring from 14 regions, of which
the results of the average quality of feed barley from 10 regions are presented in table
15. There were more regional fluctuations as to hectolitre weight in barley than in oats.
The best feed barley harvest by hectolitre weight was found in Uusimaa and Southwest
Finland, where 83 and 91 per cent of the samples had a hectolitre weight of a minimum
of 64 kg (figure 22). The highest average yield of 4,348 kg/hectare was also found in
Southwest Finland.
