Recent Activity
General managers from three major mills in Korea traveled to Montana, Idaho and Oregon July 20 to 29 for a more in-depth look at crop production and soft white (SW), hard red spring (HRS) and hard red winter (HRW) wheat quality. The delegation met with growers, wheat commission officers, country elevators and export terminal officials, as well as exporters and breeders to see the current crops they will buy and to gain a better understanding of the wheat supply chain, from the farm to the export elevator. They learned that the 2018 U.S. wheat crop is expected to be better than last year with yield increases.
