Robust Spring Barley
Spring Barley is a cool season, annual cereal grain. It is easy to grow and widely adapted across the United States. While its usage depends on region, it is primarily grown for grain, forage or cover cropping. In the Midwest, it is best to plant in the spring for grain production, fall for livestock or deer forage, or any time throughout the year for cover cropping.
