barley harvest
Reaping cereal crop
Barley harvest is the period when barley is gathered from the fields, typically in late spring or early summer depending on climate.
The term appears frequently in biblical and agricultural contexts as a seasonal marker: The famine began at the start of barley harvest.
It precedes wheat harvest by several weeks.
