Economic Impacts of Barley and Wheat in Idaho: >> pdf impact bulletin The barley and wheat industries play an important role in Idaho's economy. Idaho farmers generated nearly $500 million in cash receipts from sales of wheat and barley in 2004, accounting for over 11% of all agricultural receipts in Idaho. Production of these grains creates jobs and income, not only in the production process, but also in transportation, storage, and input supply industries. Further positive economic impacts are generated by malt processing and flour milling that occur in the state. >> pdf impact bulletin
