It was introduced into the United States by the Department of Agricul- ture. The long, slender heads nod at maturity. The beards have a tendency to drop off as the crop ripens, so that the crop is some- what less objectionable to handle than the 6-rowed varieties. A number of selected heads of this variety are shown in figure 11. Hannehen barley has been on trial at Brookings and Highmore for several years.
