Key Programs and Services
The Wheat Marketing Center (WMC) exists on the technical crossroads of the international wheat industry, providing technical training and grower workshops, innovative research, product development, and crop quality testing services. WMC focuses on promoting U.S. wheat by demonstrating its quality and functionality in Asian noodles, crackers and biscuits, tortillas and flatbread, and other baked products. Pilot scale production lines (pictured above), state-of-the-art quality testing equipment, and rich technical expertise provide great value to our state wheat commission partners, wheat industry stakeholders, and millers and food manufacturers around the world.
This Week: May 13-19
This week the Wheat Quality Council hosts the annual Hard Winter Wheat Tour starting in Manhattan, Kansas. This annual event brings together dozens of volunteers from the agricultural and food industry to survey the progress of this year’s winter wheat crop, taking measurements of hundreds of fields to estimate the yield for the coming harvest. This estimate is watched closely by buyers and traders of wheat around the world. Participants also have the opportunity to learn about the factors that affect yield and quality while networking with colleagues and new faces from across the industry.
