Stripe rust has been found in winter barley in the Aberdeen area. This is not the same strain of stripe rust causing the disease in wheat. None of the currently grown varieties of barley have resistance to the stripe rust fungus (that I am aware of.) I definitely advise incorporating fungicides at herbicide timing. Stripe rust continues to advance in winter and spring wheat. It is getting close to the time limit for spraying winter wheat with fungicides, which may be before flowering for some fungicides or up to 50% flowering depending upon the fungicide. READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL directions.
