Mr. Bobby Miller:

It varies from year to year and it depends approximately 70% on the weather. In terms of the specifications and protein levels, there is a lot of science behind producing the product, that is, the pint or the bottle of whiskey, etc. There are different levels of protein, different diseases in the crop and different varieties. Many factors come into play. It is a highly specified crop to grow, yet we are getting the equivalent of feed prices for malt and barley at present, which is just not acceptable.
