Barley and Oats Response to Hail
Barley and Oats will tiller (stool) and recover better from hail than wheat especially
prior to the boot stage. Grower experience has demonstrated that barley hailed severely in
the boot stage has recovered to produce 70-80% of normal yield. Crop hailed prior to boot
stage should be left if stems or green tissue remains. New growth should be evident within
3 days after hail. Yield potential will depend on rainfall and cool temperature in the
next 30 days after hail damage. Grain quality will likely be reduced.
