The Greenbush Supply Company that I gave under the "How Do I Grow Wheat" thread in the archive under "Gardening General" will sell you milo and barley seed. Not sure about the rye. Depending where you are at, the barley needs to be gotten into the ground pretty quickly. I'm in zone 6.

Haven't checked to see if they sell in such quantities as you need, but "Bountiful Gardens" has most every grain you can think of, good prices and all OP and untreated seed.

Try Shumways. They have a pretty good selection of grains.

Try Shumways. They have a pretty good selection of grains. I know they have rye and buckwheat.

I have used Albert Lea Seed House before. Prices are reasonable, and they will sell in small quantities. www.alseed.com
