Some farmers in the Midwest and Great Plains opt to grow barley as part of their operations. Their reasons range from conservation benefits to the requirements of organic certification to local or specialty markets they have identified. In Minnesota for example, the most recent Census of Agriculture indicates more than 500 operations grow barley for grain. Federal crop insurance availability for barley depends on the producer’s county. See below for the various options available. In some cases, the process will require information about another county’s available coverage, essentially requesting that coverage be extended to the producer.
