GA-Luttrell, a winter barley was developed at the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the USDA-ARS and released in 1994. GA-Luttrell was derived from a single cross made in 1981: 'Volbar' / 'Sussex'. It was named to honor Dr. E.S. Luttrell, the former plant pathologist at the Georgia Station, Griffin.
