At its June 6 meeting, the American Malting Barley Association (AMBA) Board of Directors added Puffin to the recommended list of malting barley varieties. Puffin, a winter two-row, was released in 1987 by The Miln Marsters Group of Kings Lynn, Norfolk, United Kingdom, which is now part of Limagrain Cereal Seeds. It has been tested extensively in Ohio and has strong straw with winter-hardiness superior to Charles and Endeavor. The Ohio State University barley breeder Eric Stockinger noted that “Puffin consistently performs well in Ohio. It is early, lodging-resistant, and one of the highest-yielding lines in Ohio.”

With the addition of Puffin, the list of recommended malting barley varieties is as follows:

Two-Rows

AAC Synergy Conrad LCS Genie Pinnacle
ABI Voyager Endeavor* Merit 57 Propino
AC Metcalfe Expedition Moravian 37 Puffin*
CDC Copeland Explorer Moravian 69 Scarlett
Charles* Harrington ND Genesis Wintmalt*
