Annual Research Investments
One of IBC's main objectives has
been to fund research projects that would be an investment to the Idaho
barley industry. Over the years, we have seen research funded by the
commission lead to better barley varieties, an increase in production, and
better cultural practices. We take pride knowing that some of the best
barley grown comes from IDAHO!
