    Malting barley shortage

    Quickly approaching the end of optimal timing for spring barley planting. Although the planned area will be substantially higher than normal how much will now get drilled vs a catch crop and what does get drilled will surely be at risk of being poor quality. Another 8mm today FFS! BB
