Highlighted programs for the 2022 Post Farm Field Day
Barley
Jamie Sherman - Barley Breeing Program - [email protected]
The barley team will be highlighting current work including varieties in the pipeline (Jamie Sherman) and interactive stations allowing guests to learn about our variouis research areas.
Food Barley Demo & Tastings
Hannah Turner -- Barley, Malt & Brewing Quality Lab - [email protected]
With support from Montana Wheat and Barley the MSU Barley Program is putting focus toward developing food barleys and analytical parameters for food barley selection. Visit the food barley demo to try some breads made with sprouted and koji malted barleys!
Winter Barley Breeding for MT Growers: Progress and Potential
Since 2017 the MT Barley Breeding Program has been making and screening winter barley crosses, please join us to discuss the exciting progress and potential of the MT winter barley program.

Barley-Malt - Selecting Desirable Agronomic Traits to Improve Malt Quality
Malt quality selection is a prime example of goldilocks syndrome where we are not trying to maximize traits but instead, shoot for a target range. This can be challenging because as you change one quality trait they all change correspondingly. To complicate this further agronomic traits like heading and dormancy have a cascade of effects on many malt quality traits.

Investigating Stay-Green and Root traits in Barley - visit with Jessica to learn more!
Stay-green is a trait that causes plants to stay greener longer during the growing season. I am investigating unique root system characteristics connected to the stay-green trait, and how all of this applies to drought tolerance.
