- First Announcement
- 2005 BARLEY IMPROVEMENT CONFERENCE
- January 12, 2005
The American Malting Barley Association is pleased to announce plans
for the 35th Barley Improvement Conference to be held at the historic
Mills House Hotel, 115 Meeting Street, Charleston, South
Carolina.
The Barley Improvement Conference provides barley researchers, barley
producers, and malting, brewing, and grain trade personnel the
opportunity to hear reports on the status of barley research programs and
to meet and exchange information and ideas. The first Barley
Improvement Conference was held in Milwaukee in 1946 and was sponsored by
the Malt Research Institute and the Midwest Barley Improvement
Association. Subsequent conferences continued to be sponsored by
the malting and brewing industry’s malting barley trade
associations. The last three conferences were jointly sponsored
with barley grower organizations, who will again serve as co-sponsors of
the 2005 event.
Everyone who is interested in barley research is invited to attend the
Barley Improvement Conference. The following schedule has been
developed.
