BARLEY

Paramount is known as the "Barley People" when it comes to winter barley in the high plains. Barley makes an excellent feed, both as grain and as hay, especially in dairy, sow and feeder calf rations. It also does well in hog and beef fattening rations. Barley is available in winter and spring planted varieties. Both have good results in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas Nebraska and Colorado.
