Idaho Malting Barley Industry Profile & Partners

In 2004, Idaho was the second largest barley producing state in the US and is expected to remain in the #2 spot this year, behind North Dakota.  Idaho has long been known for its high quality and reliable malting barley production.  This consistent quality is the reason that major brewing and malting barley companies established malting barley contracting programs in Idaho; in some cases dating back 30 years.
