Has Scottish Local Barley come a cropper? Listening to BBC Scotland’s Out of Doors latest radio show, when the topic of Barley screening for Maltsters was discussed. It seems there are concerns over the calibration of the equipment and settings used to determine the crop during screening. Compounded by the change in normal weather and other external influences then Scottish Barley crops are not seeing a good year. @Mark do you know much about the screening process for barley to be malted and if the same percentages or limits are used across the industry? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crm4xm0g824o.amp https://www.nfus.org.uk/news/blog/malting-barley-blog
