This week we are pleased to welcome the Wheat Marketing Centers newest visiting scholar, Shikhadri Mahanta. Shikhadri is currently a graduate student at Texas A&M in the school of Biological and Agricultural Engineering. The technical team is busy this week with ongoing work on our partner study with The Oklahoma Wheat Commission. Additionally, the team is conducting tests with 100% whole wheat bread, as well as blending hard wheats for use in hamburger buns. We are meeting with the Oregon Wheat Commission in our continued preparations for crop quality testing during harvest. The Board of Directors’ finance committee meets this week to discuss the budget for the next fiscal year which begins in July.
