Barley
Cultivation
From Tale 3, please update and expand as time permits.
Barley is grown using Barley (raw), water, Grain Fertilizer and Weed Killer, and requires you to know the Barley Cultivation technology. New citizens may obtain a starter packet of 4 raw barley from any University of Worship where Barley Cultivation has been unlocked.
- 50 Grain Fertilizer = 1 Carp, 5 Water in Jugs, and 5 Wood in a Kettle.
- 50 Weed Killer = 1 Toad Skin mushroom, 5 Water in Jugs, and 5 Wood in a Kettle.
NOTE: Weed killer is not strictly necessary for growing barley, and some cultivation strategies ignore it.
General Information
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.
- Water, fertilizer, and weed killer levels will all drop as time passes.
- When water and fertilizer are high, the barley will grow rapidly.
- When water and fertilizer are low, the barley will die back.
- Weed killer has no effect on the pace of growth.
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.
- In order for a barley patch to achieve "Ready to Harvest" status, it must have reached a certain level of growth and be entirely free of weeds.
NOTE: A barley patch which is Ready for Harvest will die 20 minutes later if left unharvested.

Using Water Only
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 you see the number of stalks increase, harvest. You should end up with 2 barley per field (net gain of 1 raw barley) if there are weeds, or 3 barley if weed-free.
