EU: Yields of malting barley affected by summer heat and rain
Crop and therefore supply of malting barley are affected most by this summer's weather, a long heat wave, followed by four weeks of rain, when the grains were ripe to be harvested, experts released September 01. Lower yields, small kernels, partly high proteins were the consequence of heat and drought, followed by all the bad effects of rainy weather thereafter. Winter barley was harvested before the weather change, so was spring barley in the Mediterranean countries and in the largest part of France.
At first South and East Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, to a lesser extent Slovakia and Austria, lost large parts of their malting barley, they were followed by Denmark, South Sweden and Lithuania, and now even Central Sweden and Finland report deteriorating results.
