Pacific Northwest Wheat Quality Council
The Pacific Northwest Wheat Quality Council is a not-for-profit organization comprised of wheat breeders, cereal chemists, producers, marketers, inspectors, processors and users of wheat. Through its technical committee of volunteer collaborators, the Council aims to solicit and evaluate advanced-generation wheat breeding lines, thereby providing direct feedback as to the merits of individual breeding lines and more general information as to the technical requirements of wheat end-users. In this way, longer-term breeding objectives are defined.
First convened in Portland, Oregon, 1995
