Video: USW Crop Quality Report, Seminars Provide Customers With a Transparent Look at 2024 Crop
Months of Cooperation
Months of work go into U.S. Wheat Associates’ (USW) annual Crop Quality Report and the Crop Quality Seminars that follow. But when the job is done, customers of U.S. wheat around the world benefit from an effort that requires cooperation across the entire wheat industry.
The Crop Quality Report includes information on everything from production, growing conditions, kernel characteristics, milling properties and baking performance, with the aim of offering valuable insights to wheat buyers and processors.
Transparency in Focus
“We share data on the crop to ensure transparency and inform customers about the quality of the U.S. wheat crop,” explains Erica Oakley, USW Vice President of Programs who leads the Crop Quality project each year. “The report is the culmination of a long process we are able to complete by partnering with, USDA, state wheat commissions and partner laboratories.”
Starting in late October and running through November, USW and a team of experts visits two dozen countries to conduct seminars based on the Crop Quality Report, which is made available on the USW website (www.uswheat.org).
