Barley
Malting, feed and food barley sourced by variety, germination, protein and grain quality.
Barley is sourced for malting, feed or food applications. These uses require different variety, protein, germination, moisture, test weight and defect criteria, so the intended process is established first.
Bulk supply available upon request. Source and supply available upon request.

Barley procurement guide
Barley is not one grade: malting, food and feed uses require different varieties and functional quality. Buyers should state the application before setting protein, germination or kernel limits.
End use and processing fit
Malting programmes prioritise varietal purity, germination and kernel uniformity; food barley may require pearling behavior; feed use focuses on sound grain and nutritional specification.
Grain quality and functional tests
Define use, variety or class, moisture, protein where relevant, test weight, kernel size, germination, admixture, skinned or broken grain and mycotoxin limits.
Bulk or bagged grain handling
Protect from moisture, insects and admixture in clean bags or bulk storage. Malting lots require careful identity preservation and handling that protects germination.
Information to include in your quotation request
