As a key part of its commitment to transparency, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) produces an annual Crop Quality Report that includes grade, flour and end-product data for all six U.S. wheat classes.
The report is compiled from sample testing and analysis conducted during and after harvest by our partner laboratories. The report provides essential, objective information to help buyers get the wheat they need at the best value possible. USW shares the data with customers in person and at a series of annual Crop Quality Seminars around the world. During harvest, preliminary reports on crop quality by class are posted in weekly Harvest Reports.
