New Research Lab To Improve Inspections Of Barley, Oats

MADISON, Wis. — A new research facility on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus will improve inspections of barley and oats for foods and beverages that are shipped across the nation.

Researchers and politicians helped dedicate the $11 million USDA-ARS Cereal Crops Research Unit at 502 Walnut Street on Thursday morning.

They said that barley and oat inspections have been made in Madison for 75 years and that the new building will only continue that tradition.
