Failing spring barley

[Barmyfarmer]

My spring barley hasn't quite had the start I was expecting due to a lot of rain slowing it down and the crows have had a good feed on the slower germinating stuff, it was destined for wholecrop anyway, what could I broadcast on to fill the gaps? If anything?
Thanks

Hybrid rye grass, could you put it into the barley with a einbock harrow

Westerwolds be better?

That's what I ment a neighbour uses to grow it before maize, I think it was called tornado grass.

I had a 10 acre last year......was planted late enough...was so dry very little germinated....thought it was a fail so applied rye grass with my vicon drill pulled with quad and flat rolled..... When it did rain....everything grew ...
Wholecroped when still green....was ok and was left with a great set of seeds.....westerwolds I wouldn't bother with.....compared to this rye grass......just rubbish

Direct drill barley into it . Someone with a weaving will be best

The issue with putting more barley in is more crows hammering it, would clover be any good? Could direct drill winter wheat into it then?
