northeast ohio | This is my personal opinion after having worked with a dairy 30 years ago that raised 100 acres of barley annually and the last three years of experimenting with rotation options related to aerial seeded barley in pre-leaf drop soybeans. Barley is a huge opportunity for turning water quality and climate smart commodity objectives into economic reality. About 350-400 acres in our neighborhood this year of which 1/2 served as early and late winter manure or biosolids application ground. 1/4 has been green planted to corn, 1/2 harvested as dairy silage now planted into full season corn and 1/4 going to grain for feed with straw likely to be added to dry cow diets. Grain acres will be DC soybeans or silage corn in late June. Lots of opportunities for research into management strategies and market alternatives such as incorporating barley as feedstock into ethanol sector. Just my thoughts from the very eastern corn belt.
