Industry-Wide Effort Makes 2025 Crop Quality Seminars Successful

By Catherine Miller

As the golden fields of wheat are harvested across the United States, a new journey begins – not just for the grain, but for the people who grow it and those who rely on it around the world. The annual series of Crop Quality Seminars, organized by U.S. Wheat Associates (USW), serve as a global bridge, connecting expertise with international curiosity and demand.

Twenty-two U.S. travelers including state wheat commission leaders, university professors, cereal scientists, USW staff and farmers packed their bags with data, ideas and stories from farm. The mission? To provide timely updates to customers on the particulars of the 2025 U.S. wheat crop.
