Wheat Quality Summit

• Workshop Description
  With planting season just around the corner, producers are making decisions on what varieties to plant. High yields and test weights are important factors to the producer when choosing which varieties to plant, but good end-use quality also should be a consideration. The Wheat Quality Summit (WQS), hosted by Plains Grains, Inc. and FAPC, is designed to help producers understand how quality is determined once wheat moves through the supply chain from the elevator to the milling and baking industry. To be competitive in the global market, it is important that the U. S. wheat industry delivers a quality product to the customer. The WQS will help the producer understand what quality means to the milling and baking community and how that quality is affected by the varieties they plant.
