A report from the Billings Chamber of Commerce Ag Committee claims that Montana is “the Bakken of barley” as the industry’s growth has shifted from the Dakotas to Montana. “Barley and sugar beet industries work together, when beet markets are strong, so are barley markets.” The wheat market has softened; predicting $6.75/bushel. Five transload facilities are being built on the hi-line in anticipation of grains being transported out of Canada. The report said that record prices are being seen for malt barley because of competitive markets.
