FEATURED REGION FOR MALTING BARLEY:
SASKATCHEWAN'S PARKLANDS
Regional Notes
The Parklands region extends in a broad arc from southwestern Manitoba, northwestward through Saskatchewan to its norther apex in central Alberta
​
The climate is marked by short, warm summers and long, cold winters with continuous snow cover
​
Because of its favorable climate and fertile, warm black soils, this region represents some of the most productive agricultural land in the Prairies
​
It produces a wide range of crops, including spring wheat, cereals, oilseeds, forages, and several specialty crops
