ONTARIO WHEAT QUALITY

Ontario is situated between the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River Basin,
and our temperate climate and fertile soils are key components to producing top
quality winter and spring wheat.

Because of Ontario’s size and varied geography, its producers grow several
varieties of wheat: from soft wheat in the southwest to hard wheat in the east.
Ontario’s wheat production is supported by our proximity to strong
transportation infrastructure (highways, rail lines, and river access to ocean
ports) and an ample supply of energy sources.


2024 SUMMARY DATA

Grain Farmers of Ontario’s annual wheat harvest survey program is delivered in
partnership with SGS Canada, Inc through our joint venture, the Grains
Analytical Testing Laboratory (GATL).

Each year, wheat samples are collected from across Ontario with the intent to
provide farmers and the grain supply chain, including wheat millers, an average
representation of wheat quality in each region and overall for the province. The
program aims to collect a representative number of samples from each region to
match the production in each area and to represent across the different wheat
classes grown.

This sampling program is an indicator of average quality across the regions and
is not a definitive number related to quality from every field or truck load.
GFO works with supply chain partners across Ontario who oversee the actual
collection of the wheat samples, which are then assessed by SGS labs. Each group
of samples that are submitted are posted online within roughly 14 days of the
harvest date.

Grain Farmers of Ontario strongly encourages producers to seek out independent
testing on their own samples prior to delivery for an indication of quality.
Ensure the sample is representative of the field or the bin. Independent testing
for grain grade, falling number, and vomitoxin are available through SGS Canada.
Other testing options, including the Canadian Grain Commission are available.

NOTE: All grading and analysis are conducted by the Grains Analytical Testing
Laboratory.
