Description

Barley is one of the best crops to grow under irrigation. It has the shortest life cycle (time span from sowing of seed to combining of mature grain) of any of the cereal grains. This short time period reduces the chances of crop loss from unfavorable weather and increases the opportunity for double cropping if an early maturing barley variety is grown.
