PARTNERS
Acknowledgments
These collaborative flour tests are supported by the wheat commissions of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in cooperation with the USDA-ARS Western Wheat Quality Laboratory. In addition, participating companies provide sponsor support for operating the council and annual meeting. Our purpose is to maintain and improve the milling and baking quality of wheat in the Western region. It is an attempt to keep current with the needs of wheat processors and flour users. The information gained from the data and opinions of the collaborators is of significant value to the wheat breeding programs of the region. The project aims to provide each collaborator an opportunity to express their opinion as to whether or not the tested selections would satisfy the end-use demands of their industry.
We would like to thank each of the cooperators for their participation in this annual project.
