Bennett's Seed is a Canadian Barley exporter

Canada ships more than 3 million t of barley every year, making it a top-three bulk barley exporter worldwide. Key buyers of Canadian malting barley include the United States, China, Japan, South Korea and Mexico, while Saudi Arabia and Thailand rely on it for high-energy feed. Prairie two-row varieties such as AAC Synergy and CDC Copeland deliver plump kernels, low DON (< 0.5 ppm) and diastatic power ≥ 260 WK—exactly what global breweries and distillers need for consistent, high-quality malt.

Canadian Barley Types

Canada grows several bulk barley varieties to serve malting, feed and food markets worldwide.

Two-row Malt:
Premium malting barley such as AAC Synergy & CDC Copeland; plump kernels, protein 10.5–12.5 %. Ideal for beer & whisky malt.

Six-row Feed:
High-enzyme grain for livestock; greater kernel density, test-weight ≥ 60 kg/hL. Ships in bulk rail hoppers.

Hull-less:
No hull = higher β-glucan (≥ 7 %) and faster cooking. Used in cereals, soups & health bars.

Covered (Hulled):
Traditional feed barley with protective hull; suitable for pearling into food barley after de-hulling.

Forage Barley:
Fast-growing, high-protein cultivars (e.g., CDC Maverick) cut for green feed or silage in beef & dairy rations.

Malting Barley Supplier

Bennett’s Seed contracts bulk Canadian two-row malting barley—varieties like AAC Synergy & CDC Copeland—with protein 10.5–12.5 %, plump kernels (> 95 % over 2.5 mm screen) and DON < 0.5 ppm.
Each lot is CFIA-graded #1 CW, colour-sorted to ≤ 1 % admixture and accompanied by an SGS malt-analysis report (diastatic power ≥ 260 WK). We load 20 / 40 ft containers or bulk rail hoppers FOB Vancouver, Prince Rupert or Montréal and confirm FOB / CIF prices within 24 h.

Malting Steps

After harvest, malting barley is cleaned, steeped to 44 % moisture, then germinated for 4–5 days at 14 °C until acrospire length reaches ¾ of the kernel. Active enzymes—α-amylase and β-glucanase—convert starch into fermentable sugars. Kilning at 80–85 °C stops germination and develops flavour; colour targets range 2.5–4 SRM for pale malt.
Consistent plump kernels and low DON from Prairie lots ensure uniform hydration, high extract (> 80 %) and clean flavour profiles demanded by craft breweries and distillers worldwide.

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.
