How Our Supply Programs Work

BNCP contracts directly with growers and manages the supply program.
After harvest, lots are cleaned, graded, and packaged at the nearest practical facility to origin to keep freight efficient and documentation consistent.
Lots are allocated to our market-facing subsidiaries, and Bennett’s Seed handles final sales to domestic Canadian buyers or export markets.

Barley Programs We Support

General Purpose / Feed Barley: contract-based supply for feed and bulk programs.
Food Barley: buyer-selected lots graded under CGC food tables (two-row / six-row and hulless options where applicable). Hulless Barley: specialty food ingredient programs where end-use requires hulless types.
Malting Barley: buyer selection criteria defined by maltsters/brewers; lots aligned to contract parameters and CGC grading tables.

CGC-Aligned Grading & Contract Parameters

Canadian barley is graded under the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) Official Grain Grading Guide. Grading factors can include items such as smut, fusarium damage, ergot, broken, heated, mildew, extraneous material and other defined factors. Buyer programs may specify tighter limits than baseline grade tolerances, confirmed by lot and documentation.

Canadian Hulless barley

Hull-less barley sheds its husk at harvest, boosting groat yield and β-glucan (≥ 7 %) for health-food makers.
Graded as Canada Western Hull-less; protein 12–14 %, moisture ≤ 13 %. Ideal for hot cereals, granola bars and gluten-friendly flour blends.
Available in 25 kg poly bags, 1 t totes or bulk containers, complete with SGS certificate and COR / USDA NOP organic option on request. Hulless barley has a high protein and fiber content and is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious food source for humans and livestock. Hulless barley is used in various food products, such as breakfast cereals, granola bars, and bread. It can also be used as an alternative to rice or pasta in various dishes, such as stir-fry or salads. Hulless barley is typically grown in regions with cooler temperatures and higher rainfall, such as in the northern regions of the prairie provinces in Canada. This type of barley is well-suited to these growing conditions, which promote optimal growth and high-quality grain.
