Severe drought forces longtime Northern Colorado farmer to cut barley production in half

A Northern Colorado farmer, Bill Markham, is cutting barley production by 50% due to severe drought conditions. His family's farm, M&M Farms, has supplied Molson Coors with barley for over 60 years, but persistent dry weather has left insufficient water to maintain normal output. Despite the reduction, Molson Coors claims its beer production will remain unaffected due to multiple barley sources.
