Red Menace: Stop the Ug99 Fungus Before Its Spores Bring Starvation

>>There are also barley and rye.<<

One autumn afternoon in Njoro, Steffenson, the cereal-disease expert from the University of Minnesota, strolled through the test field, checking on barley that was grown from seed he’d developed in his St. Paul greenhouse. It was a dispiriting affair. “Boy, these are getting spanked,” Steffenson muttered as he passed by row after row of plants pocked by red pustules. “Blasted, just blasted.” The victims included a variety whose genetic resilience he had prematurely extolled in a journal article just weeks before.

It attacks barley and rye too. You're are going to have to give up on barley and rye whiskeys and bread and learn to love corn liquor and corn pone.
