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: September 25-October 1
The team finishes up crop quality product testing this week with evaluation of soft white wheat in steamed breads and wire cut cookies. Final analysis and report writing begin for the full printed report. The PNW Soft White Wheat Quality Report is distributed to wheat buyers from around the world in partnership with U.S. Wheat Associates, guiding their purchasing decisions and promoting the value of U.S. grown wheat. WMC would like to thank the Idaho Wheat Commission, Oregon Wheat Commission, and Washington Grain Commission for their support and contributions to this process and publication.
