Wheat Quality

Throughout the years, we have prioritized wheat quality improvement and we continue to promote the benefits of preferred varieties to our growers.  The Grain Craft Preferred Variety Program includes varieties that have been thoroughly tested and selected based on key milling and baking characteristics.  Each of these varieties has shown successful yield and end-use performance.

Food Safety

Food safety is paramount in our daily processes. We have developed and implemented HACCP-based food safety plans and procedures at each of our milling facilities to ensure compliance with Global Food Safety Initiatives (GFSI) and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Our mills are also SQF certified.

By cultivating a network of partners across the supply chain, from wheat research to farming and production partners, we are able to keep up with the latest sustainable practices and innovations, as well as ensure the continued strength of the wheat industry as a whole.
