Barley Shows High Record Malt Quality Across West Canada
A 1952 crop bulletin from the Board of Grain Commissioners notes an estimated 284 million bushel western Canadian barley crop grading better than average with excellent malting quality. About 35 percent of carload lots were malting grade. 30 percent No 1 Feed. Malting tests in Winnipeg through the first seven weeks show high quality with low nitrogen and record malt extract. Mean protein values run 10.5 percent in Manitoba and 11.1 percent in Alberta and Saskatchewan. An 8.1 million acre sowing yielded 34.9 bushels per acre, aided by good harvest conditions and grower cooperation spurred by the National Barley Contest.
