Farmers Warned Against Growing Fort Barley Variety
TNE BARNEY Aperewienti Institute warns western farmers not to plant the newly licensed Fort barley. Although strong and high yielding in the Maritimes, Fort is not suited to drier western Ontario and western Canada. The institute, backed by Manitoba agriculture groups and malting firms, cites seven reasons including low malting quality, indistinguishability from Montcalm when threshed, risk to premium markets, and potential misallocation of growing areas.
