Assurance, Improvement, and End-Use Quality of Idaho Wheat

Did you know wheat and flour specifications often require specialized testing to determine how the flour will perform during processing and baking? Moisture, ash, and protein content, as well as falling number, are also determined with this testing. Join us for our next From the Field: Farm Chat with Idaho Wheat, as we chat with Sarah Windes, University of Idaho Wheat Quality Lab Supervisor about her collaboration with Idaho wheat growers, breeders, and researchers to provide end-use quality analysis of Idaho wheat.

Our Webinar Library

From the Field: Farm Chat with Idaho Wheat covers a variety of topics that relate directly to production and profitability on the farm.  From the Field is always free and is intended to be a casual conversation between growers and experts on topics that will impact your operation and your bottom line. Join us live or catch up on a recorded video on YouTube or podcast on Spotify, and as always, if you have a suggested topic you’d like us to cover, send that our way to Britany at britany@idahowheat.org

From the Field: To the Markets

About half of Idaho's wheat and the wheat grown in the United States is exported. How are our trade relationships with countries around the world and what do you need to know on your farm to make sure the wheat gets to the buyer, miller, and the baker? We sat down with Dalton Henry and Peter Laudeman, U.S. Wheat Trade Policy experts, for a Q & A about getting wheat from Idaho's fields to family dinner tables around the world.

From the Field: Maybe It's Not the Gluten -- FODMAPS and Wheat Digestibility

Join us for conversations we host with Idaho wheat growers and some experts on a wide range of topics that relate directly to production and profitability on the farm.

Improving Nitrogen Management in Dryland Wheat

Nitrogen management in semi-arid dryland winter wheat production systems in Southeast Idaho is particularly complicated due to year-to-year variability in precipitation. High precipitation in the spring and preceding fall increase wheat production but insufficient nitrogen, coupled with partial loss of nitrogen from abundant precipitation, can cause low protein levels in wheat, resulting in considerable loss in value at market. In low precipitation years, excess nitrogen fertilization represents an unnecessary expense in a year when yields are down. Join us to talk with the team of USU researchers whose work on this topic is funded by Idaho wheat grower dollars.

From the Field: Wheat Nutrition and the Gut Microbiome

Curious about wheat's role in gut health? Not sure how to distinguish between science and "science" when it comes to wheat foods? Listen in on this recording when we talked with Dr. Corrie Whisner, a nutrition scientist at Arizona State University, about the myths and facts of wheat nutrition and the effects of wheat foods on the gut.
