2020 CANADA BARLEY CROP YEAR VIDEO
Each year, the CMBTC hosts customers of Canadian malting barley and malt for new crop tours to see the barley near the end of the growing season and during harvest, meet the farmers that grow their barley, and the industry that delivers it. Given in the summer of 2020 we were not able to host a new crop tour, we put together this video to give customers a sense of the crop year, and have the opportunity to see some images of the 2020 Canadian malting barley crop and hear from some of the farmers. Enjoy!
Western Canada crop update
2022 Canadian Barley & Crop Progress Update
2022 crop seeding was delayed in some regions of the Prairies due to precipitation in the Spring, including snowstorms in late April and early May, coupled with prolonged cool temperatures, which delayed producers from getting into their fields. As a result, crops were seeded 1-3 weeks late in many areas in western Canada with seeding continuing well into June this year.
