The University of Minnesota Barley Breeding program has had the privilege of organizing the Winter Malting Barley Trial (WMBT) since 2010. The WMBT is a collaboration spanning the entire United States. The two goals of this project are identifying winter barley lines that meet malt industry standards and expanding winter barley acreage.
