Oh yeah! I forgot about buckwheat!
I found this UH Ag research paper:

Looks like controlling moisture is a big issue. I'm itching to get a small greenhouse up so we can control water exposure.
I'm finding a lot of resources for "sprouting" grain seed. I can't find small quantities of threshing grain though. Off to research whether 'sprouting barley' is the same as threshing barley... just harvested really early ! I can't wait to ask a grain farmer this one & have them laugh their patootie off at my ignorance.
