Help Needed from Canadian Producers for Wheat Research

A new research project based out of the University of Manitoba needs help to investigate the quality and gluten strength of CWRS wheat._x000D_

The project researchers, Harry Sapirstein and Paul Bullock at the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences want to know how farm-grown samples compare with those from experimental sites._x000D_

The researchers are seeking 250 harvest samples of CWRS varieties grown in 2015 from across Western Canada. They are looking for samples of the following varieties:_x000D_
