Growing Organic Barley For Beer

By Successful Farming Staff

Barley farmers who want to transition their conventional fields to growing organic can contact the organic beer Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold about a contract. Michelob ULTRA will purchase the transitional barley at a premium price.

The process of transitioning to organic is full of high costs and risks, says the company, but a new initiative will help farmers through the transition process. In a statement, Michelob says the program will be impactful for independent farmers as they face challenges such as demand to grow more organic crops + growing consumer demand + high cost to convertconventional fields.
