Not quite enough for a brew in those photos, but it is at least barley! We get the odd bit clump around our place which I assume blows in from a nearby field during drilling as most of my neighbours are large arable farms doing rotations of barley/wheat/rape.

If it has wispy bits on the top then it is, can't quite see from photo....
