I think it does. I do about 3/4 inch of newly sprouted seeds in a 1020 tray. It mat's up to about an inch of thick roots when the grass grows to 3 inches I would guess.

It can be tough, but if there are any close towns that have grain elevators you may try there. Here is a link to some sources in Alaska, since I am in Michigan I do not know how close any of them are to you http://dnr.alaska.gov/ag/MMMS/GCompanyInformationProducts%26Services081705.pdf

I used the information in the link below to start my fodder project. I have since tweaked it a bit to my growing needs since I do not have goats, just chickens. Once the fodder grows a certain height, it goes directly out to the chickens- the grass doesn't have to grow higher than a couple...

I throw BOSS right in with the barley seed when it is soaking for 12 hours. Shell and all, it will sprout
