Why Has Barley Acreage Declined?
Static domestic malt use, limited barley & malt exports
Decline in use for feed = primary secondary use
Competition from abundant supplies of corn and dried distillers grain (DDGs) Static & limited food use – although has FDA Healthy Heart Claim
USDA Barley Health Benefits Project – AMBA/NBIC lobbying
High risk crop – many chances for failure in making malting grade
Good return as malting, low or no return as feed
Risks: ‐ Fusarium head blight (scab), other diseases, drought & heat stress, quality
requirements
Competition with other crops – GROWERS HAVE OTHER OPTIONS
Corn, soybeans, canola = large and growing markets Substantial investment by biotech seed companies, including GM variety development, in
these crops and now wheat
Why Has Barley Acreage Declined?
Biotech Crops with improved traits, including GM, have pushed barley out of higher rainfall areas into more marginal, dry ones
What happens to barley when it faces competition from GM drought tolerant corn, wheat and other crops that are being developed ?
Barley research & variety development primarily in public sector
State and provincial universities; USDA‐ARS and Agriculture & Agri‐Food Canada
Limited and declining public sector investment
Limited variety development by companies
US = Two brewers, one maltster, one private sector company – all traditional breeding
‐ minor part of their business, driven to meet needs, not profit
‐ depend on public sector for other research needs Little or no interest by biotech seed companies in barley
Low acreage compared to other major crops
Substantial cost to commercialize a GM variety

American Malting Barley Association, Inc.
(Founded in 1938 as the Malt Research Institute)
MISSION: The primary purpose of AMBA is to encourage
and support an adequate supply of high quality malting
barley for the malting, brewing, distilling and food
industries and increase our understanding of malting
barley.
VISION: To be the leader in improvement, development,
and understanding of malting barley in the US.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Develop six-row and two-row
malting barley varieties broadly adapted for the barley
production areas of North America with suitable
agronomic, malting, and brewing performance.

Traditional Breeding
10 – 12 Years to develop a new malting barley
variety.
Year 1 (winter): Crossing in Greenhouse. Often
one parent of good quality and another with
good agronomic characters.
Year 1 (summer): Grow 600 plants per cross
grown in field.
Years 2- 4: Agronomic selection with summer
nurseries and winter nurseries. Yield, height,
plumpness, color, protein….
Traditional Breeding
Year 5: Advanced yield trials at several
locations.
Years 6-10: Varietal and regional yield at many
locations.
Years 3-5: Early generation pilot scale testing at
the USDA-ARS Cereal Crops Research Unit.
Years 6-7: AMBA pilot scale trials testing. Two
nurseries at two locations evaluated by four
collaborators. Five lines per breeding program.
Years 8-9: Commercial malting and brewing
trials
TWO-ROW vs SIX-ROW
Extract
Two-rows have higher extracts than six-rows.
Protein
Six-rows tend to have higher grain protein.
DP Six-rows have higher diastatic power than two-rows.
Plumpness Two-rows tend to have higher plumpness.
Husk
Six-rows have higher husk content.
Yield
Six-rows tolerate hot humid conditions better.

General Comments
• Barley should mature rapidly, break dormancy quickly without pregermination and germinate uniformly.
• The hull should be thin, bright and adhere tightly during harvesting, cleaning and malting.
• Malted barley should exhibit a well-balanced, modification in a conventional malting schedule with four
day germination.
• Malted barley must provide desired beer flavor.
