I'll start and then Steve can comment on the malt barley.
We actually met with five people, the directors from the Western Grains Research Foundation. They gave us a pretty good overview of the work they're doing in terms of developing new varieties and what they're doing with the money, both the money from the check-off and then they also receive some money from the railways overpayment on the over-the-revenue cap. They gave us a pretty good overview of that. They gave us an idea about some of their future plans for it, and of course they have a lot of really good ideas.
It may be that not all members know this, but 100%, I think, of the board of directors of the Western Grains Research Foundation is made up of producer groups from across the prairies. So it's producers directing research work where producers feel it's going to bring the biggest value.
I think what we probably will see is a lot more interest from the private sector, in either partnering with the WGRF or perhaps even just doing stand-alone investment in varieties as well. So I think looking forward we'll see far more varieties, and I suspect we'll see far more work being done on some of the diseases like fusarium resistance, for example, which will make a healthier product, or perhaps an ergot resistance sort of thing, things that will improve the quality for consumers.
I think we'll see a lot more work done in that area on the wheat side.
Steve, could you comment on barley?
