Why Alberta Livestock Producers Are Turning to Esma Barley Seed For Better Quality Fodder

Barley remains a staple crop for livestock feed in the Southern Alberta region, and one in particular is catching eyes (and the attention of livestock producers) for all the right reasons — Esma Barley Seed. Esma barley is becoming a variety of choice for livestock producers and forage growers due to its high yield potential, excellent feed quality, and early maturity. We at Brummelhuis Seeds know that crop quality, agronomic value, and economic value are what our farmers are looking for. It’s why Esma is increasingly becoming a go-to option for progressive farmers across the region.

High Yield Meets High Quality

Features Esma Barley Seed One of the most outstanding characteristics of Esma Barley Seed is its high-yielding ability. Whether sown for Green Feed, Silage, or Grain, Esma has shown consistent, dependable results across variable Southern Alberta conditions. Thanks to its great kernel plumpness and feed value, it is rated for the feeding of animals. Producers are seeing improved animal performance due to Esma’s high starch and digestibility.

Early Maturing for Alberta Climate

Another huge benefit of Esma barley is that it matures early — a critical trait in Southern Alberta where getting good weather for harvest can make or break a growing season. Using a shorter growing period, Esma minimizes the risk of early fall frost for farmers and ensures a successful harvest. This characteristic also provides the potential for more effective crop rotation and the possibility for double-cropping systems or fall seeding.

Strong Agronomics and Lodging Resistance

Esma doesn’t merely perform in the bin — it glints in the field as well. It has great straw strength and very good lodging resistance, making for simpler harvests and lower yield losses. Its strong disease resistance package also provides confidence to the grower, offering a decrease in inputs and a more consistent crop.
