USA: U.S. Agriculture Department investing millions in barley research project

The University of Minnesota is getting $2 million to lead a research project into better yields for barley. The money is from the U.S. Agriculture Department. A total of $5 million is being awarded to 19 institutions — with the U of M the lead institution on the project, according to Associated Press.

Researchers will develop a genetic "road map" of barley to identify the genes that control yield, food and malt quality and disease resistance.
