He raises the grain on his family farm outside Idaho Falls, Idaho. These days, his crop is in demand.Certain beer records are falling, too.

Idaho is the top barley-growing state – responsible for about one-third of U.S. production.

Another factor in increased barley prices: Ukraine was a big grain-growing country, and the war there has stopped its exports. That’s increased the price of all grains.Some farmers may find it more profitable to plant corn or wheat rather than barley, said Michael McCullough, an agribusiness professor at California Polytechnic State University who studies the economics of beer.
