Western Canadian wheat classes
Kernel visual distinguishability in western Canadian wheat classes
Canada’s grain quality assurance system is designed to consistently provide domestic and export customers with the quality of grain they require, year after year. A key strength of this system is the ability to segregate and handle grain according to quality, from producer delivery to the point of export, thus enabling end-users to purchase shipments with predictable processing qualities.
