Initiatives

The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition (CWRC) collaborates with the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, Alberta Grains and Manitoba Crop Alliance. The CWRC is a collaborative approach to producer funding of regional and national research projects in variety development and agronomy including the Canadian National Wheat Cluster and core wheat breeding agreements with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the universities. Additional regional projects that align with variety development and agronomic priorities will also be considered for funding through the CWRC.

The CBRC funds long-term research projects such as core barley breeding agreements with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre and other regional research that aligns with variety development and agronomic priorities.
