UMaine experts assist in small grains research to bolster industry

UMaine experts assist in small grains research to bolster industry Sat, 04/03/2021 - 1:45pm (Photo courtesy University of Maine) University of Maine researchers are assisting in a multi-institutional effort to create new strategies for producing and marketing small grains like bread wheat, naked barley, hulless oats, rye and others. Farmers often underutilize small grains because they have less economic value than other crops, according to UMaine, in a news release. To increase their value and provide more revenue streams for Northeastern and Midwestern organic growers, university researchers launched a project to develop new small grain varieties, identify best management practices, evaluate new market opportunities and strengthen supply chains. The endeavour, led by Cornell University, should help bolster small grain production and organic farms’ sustainability and diversity.
