On the malt side, there is a condition mostly in Manitoba and in some of the northern tier states called fusarium head blight, and the farther you go west, the less chances there are of the disease.

It's a known fact that two plants were built, one in Idaho and one in Montana, that were tentatively scheduled to be built in western Canada.

They wanted a contract with the producers right around them to get the best attributes and grow the best varieties for their end users. They would not deal with single-desk selling.
