2020 New Wheat Crop
A near ideal growing season produced a great Canadian crop.

Having a clear vision of the quality of the harvest helps us make future purchases objectively. Direct and honest communication with all exhibitors is an added plus as we look for new business and options with Canada.

Our process from harvest to 2020 crop report
02
Sample Collection
2-3 months
Cereals Canada works closely with nine grain companies with grain elevators across Western Canada (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and a small portion of British Columbia) to access wheat samples representative of export quality.
Grain companies receive wheat samples when producers deliver grain for shipment, or when they submit a representative wheat sample for grading. Grain companies are asked to submit their composites to Cereals Canada when samples represent at least 75 per cent of the harvested wheat class/grade in the region.
Classes of wheat analyzed: CWRS, CWAD & CPSR.
04
Milling
Up to 10 days
Processing grain into flour and/or semolina involves cleaning, tempering, blending streams, and calculating flour yields for all composites.
06
End-product Functionality
6-9 days
Key characteristics of end-product quality for bread includes loaf volume, crumb structure and colour. For noodles, we look at colour and colour retention, as well as cooked texture. For pasta, we consider the colour of the dried product and cooking quality (texture, cooking loss, etc.). The process includes preparation of scaling ingredients, actual processing, and end-product quality assessment/scoring.
01
Harvesting
Up to 3 months
This is the final stage in the production process. Harvested crops are stored either on the farm in grain bins or delivered to grain elevators for shipment.
Harvesting time differs by province and region. More northern areas tend to be harvested later than more southern regions.
See harvest progress details03
Grading and Blending
2-3 weeks
Samples from all grain companies are graded, then blended into composites that represent production from the West, East or Prairie regions. East and West regions are only for No. 1 CWRS, while Prairie regions are for CWAD, CPSR and No. 2 CWRS.
05
Flour Analysis
7-10 days
Flour is analyzed to determine its quality. Key areas of assessment for flour/semolina include protein content, gluten strength/rheological properties (protein quality) and colour.
While most quality analysis is done rather quickly, rheological and colour assessments are conducted 7 days after milling. Using a standard number of days after milling provides a basis for fairer comparisons.
