Production is estimated to have increased by 15% to 11.0 Mt, slightly lower than the 10-year average, due to higher seeded area, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, December 10.

However, supply has declined slightly as a result of significantly lower carry-in stocks. Crop quality is slightly below average. Exports are forecast to rise sharply, while domestic feed use decreases. Carry-out stocks are projected to decrease by 13%. The average off- Board feed barley price (No.1 CW I/S Lethbridge) is forecast to increase driven by strong export demand and the strength in other markets.

Malting barley: storage, dormancy and processing quality

R. Reuss, J.A. Cassells and J.R. Green CSIRO Entomology, GPO Box 1700, Canberra, ACT 2601R. Nischwitz Barett Burston Malting Co., Central Laboratory Gough Street, GPO Box 153B, Melbourne, Victoria 3001

Abstract
Preharvest sprouting of malting barley causes substantial commercial losses to the grain industry. The use of dormant barley varieties could reduce the risk of weather damage, but dormancy and water sensitivity are undesirable during malting. Storage conditions largely determine the rate of postharvest breakdown of dormancy and water sensitivity. This process may take months, to the disadvantage of handlers and maltsters. Our research has identified several options for managing barley dormancy to provide opportunities to malt and export barley earlier. This would open the door to the use of more dormant barley varieties to reduce preharvest sprouting. The use of agricultural chemicals to break dormancy before or after storage is one possible option. Alternatively, the use of dry heat is an attractive option avoiding market sensitivities to chemical use. Finally, by manipulating the storage process, postharvest dormancy breakdown can be accelerated without compromising barley quality. Here we present preliminary results of a threeyear project that aims to understand the interaction between storage conditions, barley quality and dormancy.
