Changes To Mildew Visual Guides And Standards For Western Canadian Milling Wheat

 
Mildew guidelines will be adjusted in western Canadian milling wheat classes to allow for an increased presence of mildew in the visual guides and standards. These changes are effective immediately, to minimize the financial impact on producers and the grain industry. These changes will have no impact on the quality of products made from Canadian wheat.
 
Following a two-year study of the impact of mildew on the intrinsic quality of wheat, the Canadian Grain Commission met with the Western Standard Committee’s wheat sub-committee on October 3, 2016. The wheat sub-committee recommended that mildew guides be adjusted immediately. New visual standards are currently being established to reflect increased mildew content in the wheat grades.
