Grain Crops and Crop Science,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crop Production: Evolution, History, and Technology (Hardcover)
Crop Production: Evolution, History, and Technology is a wonderful text book to use with a Crop Science course and with a Grain Crops course. This book gives you every thing you need to know about Barley, Wheat, corn, and other crops that are also used as grain. It tells the Latin name, the uses of the grains, and history. In barley it goes into detail about how to malt the barley. Overall this book is great for any student going into an Agronomy major or minor.
