[QUOTE="Highland Farmer, post: 8027790, member: 40586"] Yes, my Dad obtained some seed quite a few years ago and we've grown it every few years for seed / feed. It's a 6 row ancient grain. We sow it in May and it grows and ripens quickly for our part of the world. It's usually the first thing we harvest. It's not a heavy yield compared to modern barley but it'll grow in low nutrient and more acidic soil without too much bother. As well as the wholecrop, we'll probably grow about 10 acres for seed this year. It's bad for lodging so we don't give it anything extra. I'm told the straw is desirable for thatching. [/QUOTE]
