Thanks!! I will look more closely at some of these - although I know I hate barley.
I love chick peas/hummus.
My daughter and her husband are starting a diary farm in upstate New York Otsdego County and I wonder if they could grow quinoa. They need a cash crop.
Their best bet might be a crop that also supports their dairy operation, like a high value fodder. With the government’s nonsensical demand for ethanol fuel production, some farmers have become so desperate for animal fodder that they are feeding their cows waste candy.
And when markets fluctuate it is a good time to have a stable supply.
Importantly, I am not in agribusiness, so it is best to talk to experts.
