Has anyone started harvesting your wheat yet? Post your yields and quality here.

We are likely a week away from getting started.

Walked through the wheat yesterday, it looked pretty good.

I hear some guys are worrying about sprouting.

Good luck.

The transformation of WCI into a not-for-profit organization marks a significant milestone for Alberta’s agriculture sector. “It’s been a busy year,” Conrad said, reflecting on the shift. “We’ve transitioned new directors—talented Albertans with deep credibility in agriculture and variety breeding.
