BARLEY IS ADAPTABLE CROP 
Winter Variety Is Valuable for Pasture Purposes 
Winter barley, conceded to be the best 
pasture crop among the grains, should be 
sown right after the first good rains in Au¬ 
gust or early September says Bulletin 353, 
“Winter Barley, A New Factor in Missouri 
Agriculture,” just published by the Missouri 
College of Agriculture. The authors of this 
publication are W. C. Etheridge, C. A. Helm 
and E. Marion Brown of the field crops de¬ 
partment of the College. 
A hardy variety of winter barley, if 
sown at the rate of 2 bushels per acre, may 
be used for pasture from late September 
until early December, and may again be 
pastured from late March until May. The 
combined fall and spring grazing periods of 
this crop may cover as many as 100 to 125 
calendar days. Barley fits well in rotations 
with other crops and is a particularly favor¬ 
able nurse crop for legumes and grasses. It 
makes a thrifty use of soil fertility and is one 
of the most efficient cover crops for the con¬ 
trol of soil erosion during the fall and win¬ 
ter. It can profitably take the place of corn 
on land medium in fertility. 
Winter barley is much the earliest of 
Missouri grain crops to ripen. The favorite 
varieties are ready for harvesting in late 
May or the first days of June, about 2 weeks 
ahead of rye, 3 weeks ahead of spring barley, 
3 to 4 weeks ahead of wheat, and 4 to 5 
weeks ahead of oats. Thus, winter barley 
escapes much of the damage by chinch bugs 
and spring drought that may be fully in¬ 
flicted upon later grain crops. 
Because the barley crop is harvested so 
early, the growth of any legume or grass 
previously sown therein is greatly favored; 
or, if there is no intersown growth, the land 
is left free at a timely period for sowing a 
full-season crop of soybean hay. Barley 
grain is ready for use in early summer when 
other grains, especially corn, are scarce and 
expensive. 
Winter barley may be produced by 
nearly the same standard methods used in 
growing a crop of wheat. It may be con¬ 
sidered as safe a crop as either wheat or oats, 
if it is correctly handled, and if its partial 
avoidance of chinch bugs and spring drought 
is taken into account over a long period.
