# Irish Grain Growers to protest over malting barley prices - 23 October 2017 Free

> Irish Grain Growers plan a protest outside Boortmalt in Athy over malting barley prices. They seek €200-220/t for 2018, arguing the latest harvest price of €154.80/t fails to cover production costs and that a 2017 forward-fixing deal failed to deliver its premium.
