This week U.S. Wheat Associates partners with Wheat Marketing Center (WMC) for the Korean Contracting for Wheat Value Workshop in Portland this week. WMC provides end–product evaluations and comparisons between US wheat versus competitor wheat classes, illustrating the relationship between wheat quality specifications and quality outcomes. Harvest samples continue to arrive for testing as we enter week three of crop quality analysis. WMC hosts the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Junior Professional Advisory Committee as they tour the PNW. FAS tours a different growing region each year, visiting farmers, processors, trade associations, and academic institutions, to experience first-hand the trends impacting U.S. agricultural exports to global markets.
