CWB Video Conference on New Malt Barley Programs

Also wish the CWB wouldn't stretch their nubmers to make fit their purpose. Compare the CWB annual statistics report (2006/07 will be out in a month) to their press release. Will note that the CWB has been lucky to achieve the bottom end of their malt barley pool size (2 MMT). Canada doesn't consume 350,000 tonnes of domestic malt barley - last few years have been under 150,000 tonnes.
