USA: New malthouses have been built in Montana and Idaho
In the U.S.A. three new malthouses have been built in Idaho and Montana, one of them, in good NAFTA style, owned by Modelo of Mexico. U.S. farmers, on the other hand, seem to have become increasingly disenchanted with the growing of barley.
A U.S. Grains Council malt conference in Portland is taking place these days. The meeting is a publicity effort for U.S. malt and barley exports, which are not only needed by the industries, but also to regain barley farmers' confidence.
