Spellcrops

While it is no real substitute for good old-fashioned farming, agriculturists have had reasonable success in growing barley-bogweed hybrids (colloquially known as “barley-weed”) in greenhouses all over the Empire. Although they lack the fruit-bearing capabilities of domesticated bogweed, barley-weed reproduce and grow nearly three times faster than regular barley or bogweed, and yield grain that is virtually indistinguishable from farmed barley. Barley-weed flax is also edible, and while its flavour profile is a little bland, its high nutritional value more than makes up for it.

Spellcrops are grown in Greenhouses, after which they are sent to an Agriculturist for processing into Forage and Grain.
