    Treated Seed

    This seed has been treated with insecticide and fungicide. Treated seeds contain a small and measured application of a crop protection product applied to the surface of the seed. The seeds and the young plants that grow from them are protected from insects and diseases during the time when they are most vulnerable. Treated seed helps improve crop health and vigor, it increases yield potential, and it can reduce the need for additional pesticide applications. Properly treated seed supports sustainable agriculture.

      Barley is a type of cereal grass in the genus Hordeum and was one of the first cultivated grains. One way to classify Barley is by rows of grain on the grain head. Wild barley typically has 2 rows of grains heads while most cultivated barley has 6 rows. Four row heads are also possible. Like wheat, barley also can have several awn (beard) configurations from awnless to fully awned. Other means of classification involve hull (hulled or hulless), purpose (feed or malting), height, and seed color.

      Buckaroo barley is a 6 row awnleaded barley (mostly beardless).
