The University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre (CDC) will receive $1.8M in funding over three years from the Canadian Barley Research Coalition. This investment will support USask CDC’s barley breeding program by extending the centre’s core barley breeding agreement and enabling the program to continue developing new varieties that will benefit barley farmers. “The keys to past success within the CDC barley breeding program have been the skilled staff, our in-house malt and molecular marker labs and the ability to evaluate large numbers of breeding lines,” said USask CDC Director Dr Curtis Pozniak. “This CBRC funding will support these pillars moving forward.”
