So, got an interesting proposition today, have heard it before and even thought about it just for myself.
Anybody grow barley? What does it need or act different from other small grains?
Used to grow wheat and grow a fair share of oats still. I swath and combine with a dummy head here. What is the straw like?
Now, this isn't for big profit, this is 5 acres for something fun and different. My wetter clayish soils favor corn, they won't favor barley, I know.
