U.S. production of six-rowed malting barley has declined sharply over the last several years. Further, the quality of U ….S. malting barley has suffered repeatedly due to disease. This has left the U.S. malting industry dependent on a single …-desk seller of malting barley, the Canadian Wheat Board. In this paper, we develop a discrete stochastic programming model to …
