The team traveled through parts of Idaho, Washington, Montana and finished up in North Dakota. Collectively, those four states seeded more than 75 percent of the barley acres in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this program is threefold.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, it provided a hands-on assessment of the U.S. barley crop throughout different stages of maturity, allowing the team to accurately evaluate their barley positions back in Japan.<\/li>\n<li>Secondly, it educated the team on different varieties and breeding programs in the pipeline.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, it exposed them to different marketing and contracting strategies used by other countries and companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Japanese expressed interest to learn more about forward contracting \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a practice that already has a proven track record of success with Canada and beer makers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/barley.JPG\" width=\"300\" height=\"238\" alt=\"barley\" style=\"margin: 3px; float: right;\" \/>&#8220;The advantage of forward contracting (with a producer) is you have a direct pipeline to your source,&#8221; said Dave Tweet, of Tweet Consulting. &#8220;Many buyers have found success by partnering with an existing company that understands the contracting process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Importers, however, need to be made aware of the process and planning that goes into marketing a crop, especially barley. Tweet commented that most producers are already locking in their planting intentions and marketing contracts beginning in August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most farmers are not able to risk growing barley without a contract,&#8221; added Kim Falcon, executive director for the Montana Wheat &amp; Barley Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Roepke, USGC manager of global trade, noted, &#8220;It was a tremendous opportunity for Japanese barley buyers to not only understand some of the non-traditional marketing methods that exist for barley contracts, but to also gain firsthand experience of a wide array of U.S. crops. The Council brought not only some of the world&#8217;s largest barley traders, but also some of the world&#8217;s largest wheat traders. It was a great synergy of the global agriculture market.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, the U.S. Grains Council hosted a Japanese barley team composed of compound feed manufacturers, international traders, millers and large food companies throughout the U.S. barley belt.
