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.
