The 1980 Six-Rowed Barley Crop

The Department of Cereal Chemistry and Technology at North Dakota State University, in cooperation with and with the financial assistance of the Malting Barley Improvement Association, has conducted a protein survey of the 1980 six-rowed barley crop in North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota. This is the fourth consecutive year that such a survey has been undertaken. This report summarizes the data obtained on over 400 samples collected during harvest from elevators and from individual farms

Protein Survey of the 1979 Six-Rowed Barley Crop

Volume is misnumbered as 37:3From 1977-79, the Department of Cereal Chemistry at North Dakota State University, undertook a survey of six rowed malting barley crops grown in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. The third annual survey was conducted on the crop grown in 1979. This paper summarizes the data obtained from over 700 samples which were collected the the tri-state area from August 7 to September 12, 1979. the Kjeldahl method was utilized to ascertain protein assays. This article is laden with tables breaking down the numbers of this study on these axis: protein, moisture and color. The six rowed malting barley crop grown in 1979 in the tri-state area had an average protein content of 12.9%. A visual is provided of the state of North Dakota broken down into it's counties on their average barley protein contents

Azure: A New Barley Variety for North Dakota

In January of 1982, a new variety of barley, AZURE, was announced by the Director of the North Dakota Agricultural Research Experiment Station. The hybridization, selection and development of this variety was performed at he North Dakota State University. The history, characteristics, the malting and brewing quality and the disease reaction of AZURE barley is given for the reader

Glenn and Park, New Barley Varieties for North Dakota

Two barley varieties, 'Glenn' and 'Park', have been developed by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture. Glenn is a high yielding, early maturing, strong strawed variety with resistance to loose and covered smut. Glenn has not yet been classified with respect to acceptability for malting and brewing but tests have been generally favorable. Park is a strong strawed variety with superior resistance to prevalent leaf spotting diseases. Park has been classified as an acceptable variety for malting and brewing by the Malting Barley Improvement Association
