# Premiums for malting barley set to rise into 2021 - Farmers Weekly

> Farmers Weekly reports malting barley premiums over feed barley have slipped to £10-£12/t due to weaker maltster demand and a large 2020 spring barley area above 1 million hectares. Traders expect premiums to recover as brewing demand returns toward pre-Covid levels, while the AHDB survey points to spring barley area falling to 767,000 ha in 2021.
