You don't have to be a large-scale grain farmer to grow tasty, nutritious crops for you and your family. You can grow hulled barley, wheat, rye, buckwheat, quinoa, dry peas, sunflowers, and more in your backyard garden. Join Bob Van Veldhuizen and get information on each crop and the needed growing conditions, including the suitability for successful production in Alaska. Learn about important production methods such as soil preparation, fertilization (both synthetic & organic), harvesting, and processing using typical garden tools and kitchen gadgets. Bob Van Veldhuizen is a recently retired agronomist from the UAF Alaska Agricultural & Forestry Experiment Stations. He has 50-plus years of research experience across Alaska, focusing on variety selections of agronomic crops and cultural practices for successful production of high yields and high-quality final products.
