Canada: Lacey and Robust malting barley to register increased demand

Lacey 6-row malting barley is a late addition to the list of recommended varieties for 2006. Canada Malting holds a new contract to supply Lacey to a major U.S. brewery. The same contract includes a deal for more Robust 6-row barley.

Growers interested in contracts for either of these varieties can call Brian Sawatzky at the Canada Malting office in Calgary at 403-571-7000 ext. 3052. Contracts are open to growers in any region.
