Barley

hordeum vulgare

Barley is a widely used cereal grain for food, feed, and malting.
During sorting and cleaning, common challenges include removing stones, dust, weed seeds, and broken kernels. Differences in grain size, weight, and moisture can also reduce cleaning efficiency, making proper processing essential for high-quality barley.
