Barley Project Update: October 18th

Stopped by Jeff Jenning's Farm in Luray, to check on the 2 Row Malting Barley that he has planted in September.  It looks fantastic.  The single plants that initially germinated are now "tillering"- meaning producing off shoots from the parent plant.  Each off-shoot will produce a head of barley, which will ultimately be harvested and used to make malt.

This barley's growth will slow down during the winter and then start up again in the spring, with a projected harvest date of end of May of June.
