New Barley Variety Husky Licensed For Sale
Saskatoon researchers announce that Husky, a new barley variety developed at the University of Saskatchewan after 15 years of breeding, has been licensed for sale in Canada. Known formerly as N x 111, Husky is a smooth-awned white-seeded type with high yield, good straw strength, rust resistance, and mid-season maturity. It is unlikely to meet malting standards but offers strong feed value and superior yields in cooperative tests across western Canada. Seed distribution will be limited until 1954 with initial trials by experienced growers.
