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
