Near Newberg, North Dakota, Nathan Boll is done planting barley. “Our farm wasn’t too bad this year, but as a whole, we won’t replenish barley stocks this year to make up for the losses from the drought year.” Boll says Anheuser-Busch is actively seeking additional malting barley acres. “Incentivizing the growers that contracted earlier, the company added bonuses to a few contracts to incentivize those acres to get planted. It’s a valid concern to get acres planted and boost production.”
