Producers Learn More About Wheat They Produce

This week Western Canadian grain farmers came to Winnipeg to learn about the global importance of the wheat they produce.
 
The Canadian International Grains Institute (Cigi) held its Combine to Customer program from Monday to Wednesday, to discuss opportunities and challenges for Canadian grain around the world and to show producers how their wheat is used through milling and baking.
 
Dean Dias, director of value chain relations with Cigi, talks about why this program is important for farmers.
 
"We talk to the international industry all the time, we talk to customers that are buying the grain and we show them what Canada is doing. But at the same time, there needs to be that information flow back to where it starts," Dias says. "I always say producers are superstars in Canada. These are the producers that are growing the quality the world has come to appreciate, and we want to make sure the information is going back to producers to talk about what people love about Canadian wheat."
