Disclaimer!
I represent only one brewery of almost 70 in Wisconsin. While we will talk about facts, certain discussions may be of my own opinion (example – pricing/quality/etc.) and by no means are a representation of the entire Wisconsin brewing community.

Wisconsin Grown Barley
Barley in the U.S. is now driven by the domestic beer industry
The feed market has become more opportunistic and less of a large barley consumer
Barley is now a specialty crop often contracted by malsters
It would be best to contact a malster if interested in growing barley
