Kraken is a versatile early-maturing awnless forage barley, suitable for multiple grazing and/or high-quality hay or silage production. Early maturity makes Kraken ideally suited to late season planting windows and quick high yielding hay/silage cuts. High growth rates provide quicker establishment and regrowth post grazing through winter when other cereals slow down.
