THE MAIN TYPES OF BARLEY PRODUCERS GROW (AND HOW THEY MARKET)
Barley isn’t one single market. In Canada, barley is commonly handled in three end-use lanes: Malting, Food, and General Purpose (primarily feed). That end-use choice impacts what information matters most when we quote your lot.
1) Malting barley (program-driven)
Producers often seed malting varieties, but malting selection is program-based and depends on how the lot performs against buyer specifications.
For a malting offer, the variety matters first, then quality indicators like germination, protein range, and kernel plumpness.
Condition issues (pre-harvest sprout, heat damage/odour, staining, disease/mycotoxin concerns) can move a lot out of malt eligibility.
2) General purpose (feed) barley
Feed barley values soundness and consistency. Cleanliness/dockage, damage, heated/odour risk, and foreign material matter because they affect handling and end-user acceptance.
If you’re selling feed, a clear read on moisture and general condition helps us quote quickly and schedule a smooth pickup.
3) Food barley (often hulless “naked” programs)
Food programs commonly focus on uniformity and clean appearance. Hulless barley is a distinct type where the hull is loosely attached and typically comes off at harvest—buyers watch factors like adhered hulls and overall lot consistency.
Two-row vs six-row / covered vs hulless
Barley may be two-row or six-row and can be covered (hull attached) or hulless. If you know these details, it helps BNCP align your barley to the right demand lane faster—especially on malting and food programs.
PRE-HARVEST BARLEY REGISTRATION
Pre-harvest registration helps reduce last-minute harvest bottlenecks. Submit acres, timing, estimated volume, and target specs early—then update as the season progresses. This improves pickup planning and helps avoid unnecessary delays when you’re ready to load.
THE MAIN TYPES OF MUSTARD FARMERS GROW (AND HOW THEY TRADE)
In Western Canada, mustard is classed and traded primarily as Yellow, Brown, or Oriental mustard seed (the class is part of the grade name). In practice, these classes behave like different markets:
- Yellow mustard: often selected for milder flavour profiles and mainstream condiment demand. Clean colour and low admixture matter because buyers want a consistent end product.
- Brown mustard: commonly used for more pungent condiment profiles and specialty blends. Buyers typically watch condition and cleanliness closely.
- Oriental mustard: frequently tied to specific end-user programs where uniformity and documented specs are important.
When you request an offer, identifying the class (and whether it’s a mixed lot) is the fastest way to get an accurate bid and a clean dispatch plan.
