Owenacurra Agri ( a division of Southern Fuel & Farm Supplies Ltd ) and Boortmalt will work hard over the coming years to help encourage and develop growers of quality Malting Barley from the Midleton and general East Cork Area. This region is steeped in the tradition of growing Malting Barley for Guinness through JH Bennett & Co Ballinacurra, Midleton, in the not too distant past.

Southern Fuel & Farm Supplies Ltd will provide agronomy services to growers along with crop inputs and work with customers to help supply part of the major increase for Malting barley required by Boortmalt to satisfy the higher demand now coming from Irish Beer and Whisky producers.
