Welcome to the BarleyBin, brought to you by SaskBarley. Our goal is to bring you right inside the Barley Bin. Not a hopper bin, or bin with in-floor augers. The kind you spend a bit of time shoveling, getting itchy, but it’s worth it for the satisfaction. The pint or steak at the end. Or a golden nugget you sometimes find uncovering itchy topics. Find more barley production resources and research results at BarleyBin.ca and follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X @SaskBarley.

The War on FHB Continues

Season 3 · Episode 5

Friday, June 5, 2026 • Duration 27:28

Fusarium Head Blight remains one of the biggest disease threats facing barley growers in Canada. In this episode we follow up with our FHB coverage from S1E2 and explore how the research is keeping up in the fight against Enemy #1.

Mitchell Japp revisits FHB with industry leading pathologists Dr. Kelly Turkington (AAFC) & Dr. Randy Kutcher (CDC), as well as cereal crop breeder Dr. Gurcharn Brar (U of A). They discuss the fundamentals of disease risk, how spray timing impacts FHB management, why lesser-known mycotoxins are getting more attention, and how researchers are finding fungicide resistance in unexpected places.

A useful listen for producers, agronomists, and anyone following crop research on the Prairies.

Inside PRCOB

Season 3 · Episode 4

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 36:10

In this episode Mitchell Japp talks with SaskBarley director Chad Ferguson about PRCOB, the Prairie Recommending Committee for Oat and Barley, and how new varieties get selected for registration.

They explore how the variety registration process works in Western Canada, how data is reviewed, and how recommendations are made for new crop varieties. It’s a helpful inside look at one of the key committees shaping the future of barley production.

The Evolution of Disease Research Part 3: New Frontiers

Season 3 · Episode 3

Friday, May 22, 2026 • Duration 17:11

Season 3's disease management mini-series wraps up — but the story is just getting started.

In this final episode of the series, host Mitchell Japp brings the story of barley disease research into the present and future. Today's research programs look very different than they did even twenty years ago. The tools are more advanced, the questions more complex, and the expectations — from farmers, industry, and markets — are higher than ever.

Hear from Dr. Kelly Turkington (AAFC Lacombe), Dr. Randy Kutcher (University of Saskatchewan), and Dr. James Tucker (AAFC Brandon) as they reflect on how genomics and molecular science have transformed what's possible — and what challenges still lie ahead, from root diseases and leaf spots to emerging threats like stripe rust and ramularia.

You'll also meet Sheila Andrade, a U of S graduate student using advanced imaging and AI to detect Fusarium-damaged kernels and predict mycotoxin contamination — and farmer Zenneth Faye, a longtime SaskBarley director who shares why research investment is more important than ever for Prairie barley producers.

This is the story of a field in transition — and the people carrying it forward.

The Evolution of Disease Research Part 2: The Turning Point

Season 3 · Episode 2

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 13:52

In this episode of the BarleyBin Podcast, host Mitchell Japp explores the turning point in Western Canadian barley disease management — the rise of Fusarium head blight (FHB).

By the late 1990s, Prairie researchers had built solid tools for managing root and leaf diseases. Then FHB spread aggressively — and for malting barley farmers, it wasn't just a yield problem. A field could look great, yield well, and still get rejected at the elevator because of DON levels. Disease had become a market access issue.

Hear from leading researchers Dr. Kelly Turkington (AAFC Lacombe), Dr. Randy Kutcher (University of Saskatchewan), and Dr. James Tucker (AAFC Brandon), along with Saskatchewan farmer Zenneth Faye, as they share how the barley industry fought back — through resistant varieties like AAC Connect, evidence-based fungicide timing, and integrated management strategies.

This is the story of how researchers gave farmers options when they needed them most.

The Evolution of Disease Research Part 1: Roots of Resistance

Season 3 · Episode 1

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 18:16

This episode of SaskBarley’s BarleyBin is the first in a three-part series on the past, present, and future of barley disease research.

We explore the foundations of barley disease research, how it has changed over time, and why it remains important for producers, agronomists, and the barley industry today. The conversation highlights the role of research and collaboration in supporting stronger barley production and shaping the future of the sector.
