Where is barley grown in the US?
Barley is a short-season, early maturing crop grown commercially in both irrigated and in dry land environments. Because this grain adapts well to different types of environments, it is grown in many regions throughout the United States. In fact 27 states in the US grow barley to some extent. Major producing states, in descending order of production, include North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland, South Dakota, Oregon and Utah.

The National Barley Foods Council is comprised of five state producer organizations. In addition to working together through the NBFC to promote barley food issues on a national level, each of these groups works to promote barley within their individual states through a variety of educational, market development and research initiatives.
