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: July 15-21
This week we spotlight one of the newest members of the Wheat Marketing Center (WMC) team; Saksen Hathaway. Saksen filled the role as the new Seasonal Laboratory Assistant in June 2024 to assist with this year’s crop quality process.
“I applied for the this position because it was similar to a previous job as a research assistant for an Oregon State University Extension Center. I liked the idea to further my research experience through the combination of hands-on and computer work the job entails,” said Hathaway.
