Barley crop

Did you know Manitoba grows two types of barley, two-row barley and six-row barley?
 
Barley is a cereal crop that is harvested for the seeds. Barley is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and amino acids that help us stay healthy. We use barley in human food, like beer, bread and pasta. It is also used in animal food.
