Bearded Barley is a cool-season annual cereal grain valued for its rapid growth, soil-improving qualities, and adaptability to challenging climates. Known for thriving at high altitudes and in regions with short, cold growing seasons, barley can be cultivated farther north than any other cereal grain. This 6-row barley variety produces abundant biomass, making it an excellent choice for adding organic matter to the soil in a short time frame.
Ideal for erosion control and weed suppression, Bearded Barley’s dense growth habit helps protect topsoil while reducing competition from unwanted plants. It is well-suited for cover cropping in crop rotations, building soil fertility, and preparing garden beds or fields for future planting. With a plant height reaching up to 3 feet, it develops quickly, germinating in just 7–10 days, and reaches maturity in 60–80 days under favorable conditions.
This barley can be planted in early spring or late summer for fall growth, depending on your climate. Sow at an application rate of 60–90 lb per acre in well-drained soil for optimal results. While not inoculated, it pairs well with sustainable farming practices and can be integrated into organic systems with ease. Once mature, Bearded Barley can be incorporated into the soil as green manure to enhance structure and moisture retention.
