Awwwwkk. As soon as you say barley I start itching!!!!!!++ when I was in my early teens my dad grew a field of that stuff. We had to store it in the loft of one of the big old buildings. The dust was beyond a horrific bad memory. You get in the shower and that dust turned to an itchy glue. Really bad stuff.

Is it true that barley combined out of a swath itches worse than straight cut. I have not been involved with barley enough to say I have experience but the two times I was combining and unloading straight cut barley in Canada it didn't itch any worse than wheat. A fella I talked to said he helped handle barley that was combined from the swath and he said he itched so bad he will never do it again

The variety is much more the cause of the amount of itch, the old short straw feed barley my Dad grew made me itch like crazy. The Hay Bet Hay Barley I raise does itch but nothing like Oats or the stuff Dad grew. I could see it being itchier at times in a windrow depending on how dry it had gotten and in tirn it ground the stuff to powder more seen that doing grass seed and alfalfa seed

Good work for an old tractor
Connor, If you would try that again remember to straighten the front wheels so the belt has no chance of cutting the tire. We cut a tire until it blew on an Oliver 70 at least 50 years ago. That was with a flat belt, but a v-belt would cut it if it rubbed long enough.

I was told by a custom cutter swathed barley was drier so the beards were ground up fine in the combine and became part of the dust.

Not the first time for him to align a belt I bet!! His Dad would be proud of him!!
