Cereals Canada pleased with 2025 wheat quality

Nov 26, 2025

Cereals Canada has published its annual New Wheat Crop report to global and domestic customers of Canadian wheat which includes information on milling performance, flour/semolina quality and end-product functionality.

Canadian farmers grew 36.6 million tonnes of wheat this year—the majority in the top two grades. Of that total, Cereals Canada anticipates 27.4 million tonnes will be shipped to customers in over 80 international markets.

Wheat protein content was comparable to average. All wheat classes from the 2025 crops had good test weights and higher than average thousand kernel weights.

Despite variable growing conditions across the Prairies, timely mid-summer rains supported higher-than-average yields. In Eastern Canada, favorable weather throughout the growing season for winter winter resulted in strong yields and good quality.

Cereals Canada generated the data for the 2025 New Wheat Crop Report through its Harvest Assessment Program. Eastern Canadian wheat was assessed for the first time through a partnership with Grain Farmers Ontario.

The technical data was release to domestic and international customers during webinars this week.

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
