While natural wild barley tends to be two rowed, most farmers prefer to grow a much higher yield 6 row version which produces up to 3 times as many grains.
Collecting and processing wild barley seeds requires tremendous effort, and at the time of the transition to agriculture, barley was not the only exploitable food resource - in fact many others were probably more accessible.
