About harvest time and I need grain and straw. Easier to understand the answers here than asking a local with dollar signs in his eyes...
Folks I really like to deal with have winter barley,so I'll start the ???'s there..
1) on the grain itself, is there a difference in feed value between summer and winter crops?

How can I figure how big they have to be and will 1/2 inch plywood handle the stress?
