Idaho produced 38 million bushels of barley in 2026, down 31% from 2025, and harvested 380,000 of 445,000 planted acres. Weak maltster and brewer demand, including remaining 2024-crop supplies, reduced incentives to harvest, while harsh seasonal weather also damaged winter barley.
The smaller harvest tightens potential barley supply, but soft demand and old-crop availability limit the effect on buyers and prices. The opposing forces point to a mixed price impact.
