BarleyBin LIVE is back – November 20th at Rawhides Saloon
Join SaskBarley for another evening of good food, great company, and fresh insights on all things barley. This year, we’re heading to Rawhides Saloon in Stenen,SK for a night of conversation, new research, and great food.
The 2025 edition of BarleyBin LIVE will dig into some of the key agronomic stories shaping the season:
New Varieties for 2026
Early indications point to record or near-record barley yields across Saskatchewan in 2025, with some farms topping 100 bu/ac. New varieties with improved yield potential, agronomic characteristics, and disease resistance are playing a major role. How much credit do these genetics deserve for the strong year, and what’s next for barley breeding?
Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) have proven to be useful tools for managing lodging in barley under optimal conditions. Through on-farm field trials like those in the BarleyBin Field Lab, producers are gaining valuable, real-world insights into how new tools fit into their operations. How does the on-farm research experience compare to traditional small-plot work, and how do we ensure scientific rigour in these trials?
Harvest timing for malt barley is always a balancing act, especially when dealing with uneven maturities. Since malt contracts prohibit harvest aids, could zone management help producers achieve more uniform maturity and preserve quality?
November 20 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm CST
