Barley was an important crop in Ireland as elsewhere in Europe due to it being an essential ingredient in the production of beer. People got drunk a lot in times gone by, probably more so than now in fact. The reason for this is that there wasn't a lot else to do! So barley and the success of the crop would have meant the difference between getting through the winter with a smile or a tear.
