Canada: Minister Ritz says Ottawa will end Wheat Board's barley monopoly

Canada's Agriculture Minister, Gerry Ritz, says he'll bring in legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board's monopoly on barley sales and allow western farmers to sell their crops privately, CBC News reported January 29.

The idea of so-called optional marketing was endorsed at a meeting of farm and agribusiness groups on Tuesday in Ottawa. Ritz said he hopes the wheat board will embrace the idea at its own meetings in Winnipeg this week.

Ritz said having the board onside will make it easier for the federal government to pass the necessary legislation, but adds he's ready to go ahead even without the board.

It's time for change and the status quo isn't an option, Ritz said.

The question of barley marketing has split the ranks of Prairie farmers in the last year, with some embracing it and others seeing it as an attempt to dismantle the wheat board.

The National Farmers NFU's Glenn Tait said the meeting included representatives of Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, Rahr Malting and Viterra but excluded those opposed to Ottawa's plans. Continue Article

Microbes in the tailoring of barley malt properties

Arja Laitila
Academic dissertation in Microbiology presented, with permission of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Helsinki, for public criticism in the Auditorium of Helsinki University Museum Arppeanum, Snellmaninkatu 3, on the 31st of August 2007, at 12 o’clock noon.

Abstract
Malted barley (malt) is traditionally used in the production of beer and distilled spirits. In addition, it can be processed into ingredients for different areas of the food industry. Malting, the controlled germination of cereal grains, is a complex biological process involving a wide range of biochemical and physiological reactions. The diverse microbial communities naturally colonizing barley grains play a crucial role in this process. Therefore, the malting process can be considered as an ecosystem involving two metabolically active groups: the germinating grains and the diverse microbiota. It is evident that the multitude of microbes greatly influences the malting process as well as the quality of the final product. The main goal of this thesis was to study the relationships between microbes and the germinating grain during the malting process. Furthemore, this study provides a basis for tailoring of malt properties with natural, malt-derived microbes....
