The 2025 crop year marks a milestone for Cereals Canada, an organization that has been analyzing western wheat quality for over 50 years. For the first time, through a partnership with Grain Farmers of Ontario, the Cereals Canada technical team will analyze the quality of both Western and Eastern wheat classes for its Harvest Assessment Program.
The expanded program builds on the Winnipeg-based organization’s established reputation as the globally recognized independent expert in Canadian grain quality, processing quality, and milling technology.
“Cereals Canada is the trusted source for quality information on Western Canadian wheat, and our technical experts understand the data needed to support our domestic and global markets,” said Dean Dias, chief executive officer at Cereals Canada. “Our partnership with Grain Farmers of Ontario brings that same level of expertise to Eastern Canadian wheat. This united, comprehensive approach will help to strengthen Canada’s global position as a premier wheat supplier.”
To conduct the annual Harvest Assessment, Cereals Canada works with exporters to obtain representative samples from four wheat classes grown in Western Canada: Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS), Canada Western Amber Durum (CWAD), Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR), and Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW).
This year, the team adds four Eastern wheat classes including Canada Eastern Soft Red Winter (CESRW) to its roster, with representative samples provided through Grain Farmers of Ontario’s annual Ontario wheat harvest survey.
“Partnering with Cereals Canada on comprehensive milling and baking quality analysis of our wheat harvest helps reinforce the strong reputation of Eastern Canadian wheat in both domestic and international markets,” said Crosby Devitt, chief executive officer at Grain Farmers of Ontario. “As a member of Cereals Canada, this collaboration also creates new opportunities to strengthen international engagement for Ontario wheat growers.”
