Barley is one of the staple crops of Egypt. Harvested raw, it can be cooked in a [[grain oven]] to make roasted barley (light, medium, dark or burnt). It can be [[malted]], and the malt can itself be cooked similarly. Malted barley is a primary ingredient in [[Beer]].
 
−
 
 
−
It is grown from [[barley (raw)]] using water and [[grain fertiliser]], and (optionally) [[weed killer]], yielding more barley (raw).

Once you have grown and harvested 1000 barley, you become eligible to grow barley as an [[offline chore]].

==Cultivation Overview==
 
−
 
 
−
Barley is grown using [[barley (raw)]], water, [[grain fertiliser]] and [[weed killer]], and requires you to know the [[Barley Cultivation]] technology. (NOTE: Weed killer is not strictly necessary for growing barley, and some cultivation strategies ignore it.) New citizens may obtain a starter packet of 4 raw barley from any [[University of Worship]] where Barley Cultivation has been unlocked.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Grain fertilizer is made in a [[kettle]]. Each batch of 50 fertilizer requires 1 [[carp]], 5 [[water in jugs]], and 5 [[wood]].
 
−
Weed killer is also made in a kettle. Each batch of 50 weed killer requires 1 [[Toad Skin mushroom]], 5 water in jugs, and 5 wood.
 
−
Plant a barley patch on grassy terrain. Barley patches have controls to add water, fertilizer, and weed killer, and meters indicating the current level of each. When water and fertilizer are high, the barley will grow rapidly. When water and fertlizer are low, the barley will die back. Weed killer has no effect on the pace of growth. Water, fertilizer, and weed killer levels will all drop as time passes.
 
−
 
 
−
Barley may be harvested at any time. If the patch does not display as "Ready to Harvest", it will yield between 0 and 4 barley, depending on the presence of weeds and how much the barley has been allowed to grow. "Ready to Harvest" patches will yield 10 barley. A barley patch which is Ready for Harvest will die 20 [[TeppyMinutes]] later if left unharvested.

−
It is possible to raise barley (albeit slowly) with no fertilizer or weedkiller. Simply plant the barley field, water it to the max level, and keep it fully watered. Ignore any weeds that appear. When the initial fertilizer in the field is gone, harvest.  You should end up with a net of 2 barley per field.
