Our Story

At Wheat Marketing Center, our mission is to act as a communication bridge between U.S. wheat growers and global buyers.  Through food science and analytics, we help growers maintain and improve the quality of their wheat, and we help buyers make real-time, data-driven purchasing decisions for wheat use in their food products. 

While consumer tastes evolve in domestic and international markets, WMC demonstrates how U.S. wheat can be used to provide the value and reliability to meet changing consumer demands with products that are nutritious, delicious and cost competitive.  We focus on promoting U.S. wheat by demonstrating its quality and functionality in end products, including Asian noodles, crackers and biscuits, tortillas and flatbreads, and many other baked goods.

What the Tests Mean
Wheat Grade Tests reflect the physical quality and condition of a sample to determine suitability for milling. The U.S. grade for a sample is determined by measurement of factors such as test weight, damaged kernels, foreign material, shrunken and broken kernels and wheat of contrasting classes.
