Barley production

A strong and versatile cool-season grain.

Barley is a fundamental field crop thanks to its adaptability, varied uses and important role in the production chain.

Barley
Overview

Barley

Carefully selected barley with high nutritional value for livestock and the feed industry.

Uses

Feed, malt and food

Widely used in animal nutrition, barley is a key raw material for malt and some varieties are used in food products.

Sowing period

Autumn / Spring

Depending on region and variety, barley may be sown in autumn or spring; winter sowing is common in Central Anatolia.

Harvest period

June – July

Harvest timing varies by region, sowing period and variety, with maturity generally reached in early summer in Central Anatolia.

Crop profile

Cool-season grain

An annual grain adaptable to varied environments, with different varieties suited to different uses.

From field to crop

We approach production as a whole made up of complementary decisions rather than a single stage.

We read soil conditions and manage every stage of production as one.

From sowing to harvest, crop development, soil structure and intended use guide production decisions.

01 / Reading the field

No two seasons begin the same. Conditions come first.

Before production begins, we consider the field’s current state, the character of the season and observations from earlier periods. The first decision therefore comes from real field conditions.

A sound production plan begins by reading the field as it is.

02 / Developing decisions

The plan keeps evolving. Decisions develop as the field changes.

Observations throughout production allow the plan to be reassessed. As weather, growth and field conditions change, practices are updated with the same discipline.

For us, planning is a living process rather than a one-time start.

03 / Maintaining balance

The process matters as much as the result. We carry consistency through production.

We evaluate crop development beyond the final result, monitoring field-wide balance, production standards and differences that emerge throughout the process.

The aim is to maintain the same care throughout the season.

04 / Carrying experience forward

Every season prepares the next. We carry field knowledge into the future.

When a production period ends, the process continues. Field experience, observations and results help the next season begin with stronger decisions.

Production experience accumulates, and every season leaves a stronger starting point for the next.
