5 Timelines for Registra4on of a Wheat Variety Votes by the 25 quality experts on the quality of a new variety helps CGC determine its proper class Agronomy Evalua8on Team Disease Evalua8on Team Quality Evalua8on Team Development and Genera8on Screening Evalua8on 8 yrs Wheat C Series Trials 3 yrs (1 +2 years)

6 WRT Quality Evalua4on CWRS Quality check varie8es (3-4) for comparison Parameters reviewed: Wheat protein, test weight, falling number Flour protein and flour yield Amylograph viscosity, flour ash, flour colour Farinograph: Water absorp8on, gluten strength (mixing stability) Extensograph: Gluten strength (resistance to extension) Bread making by CSP method Noodle making quality

7 Background The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) has the authority: To designate a new or exis8ng variety to a specific wheat class The role of the CGC s variety designa4on lists: Iden8fy which varie8es are eligible for each class Keep ineligible varie8es from undermining quality of grain shipments Reduce transac8on costs and facilitate efficient trade and handling Are updated as new varie8es are registered

8 Background Customer concerns related to gluten strength has increased in last few years High number of acres grown of 3 specific varie8es in CWRS class Growing season, environmental condi8ons contributed to the problem PRCWRT* con8nually adjusts the check varie8es for benchmarking Historically varie8es have not been reviewed once assigned to a specific class Poten8al for different classes of wheat to be marketed * PRCWRT: Prairie Recommending Commieee for Wheat, Rye and Tri8cale

11 Moderniza4on Proposal Principle Canada s wheat classes are a cri8cal part of the total grain quality assurance system Ra4onale Provide a more consistent and balanced func8onality Increasing demands for more flexibility by stakeholders and customers both domes8cally and interna8onally Objec4ve A modernized wheat class system which will: meet Canada s wheat produc8on and handling needs address processing and export needs ensure a consistent quality profile in each class

12 Modernize Wheat Classes The CGC proposed the following: Resolve the quality parameters of the CWRS and CPSR classes Develop a new Canada Western milling class Implement transi8on processes

13 CWRS Approach Objec4ve Protect CWRS quality and consistency and ensure new varie8es meet requirements for milling performance, dough strength, protein quan8ty and end product quality Process PRCWRT* to change the current check varie8es used for registra8on in all CWRS trials Propose Glenn and Carberry as boundary check varie8es for gluten strength Remove Unity and Lillian as quality checks * PRCWRT: Prairie Recommending Commieee for Wheat, Rye and Tri8cale

14 Quality Parameters of the CWRS Class Candidates with gluten strength below Carberry will be removed from the CWRS class Candidate cul8vars with gluten strength above Glenn will be re-assigned to another class Recognize different Parkland growing condi8ons Gluten Strength Western Central Parkland High Maximum Glenn Glenn Glenn Medium Level BW965 BW965 PT472 Splendor Minimum Level Carberry Carberry PT772

15 Quality Parameters of the CWRS Class Candidates with gluten strength below Carberry will be removed from the CWRS class Candidate cul8vars with gluten strength above Glenn will be re-assigned to another class Maximum Minimum

16 Resolve the Quality Parameters of the CWRS class Process The CGC will: Con8nue to thoroughly examine the PRC s quality data of cul8vars recommended for registra8on Use this data for assigning class designa8on Review varie8es presently classified as CWRS to ensure they s8ll meet the end-use func8onality Transi8on any exis8ng varie8es into a different class as appropriate Result Greater predictability and uniformity in the registra8on process and guarantee greater consistency within the CWRS class

17 CPSR Approach Objec4ve Strengthen the quality and consistency of the CPSR class and ensure new varie8es meet requirements for milling performance, dough strength, protein quan8ty, water absorp8on and end products quality Process Select check variety for approximate high-end of gluten strength (Glenn) Select varie8es for medium and minimum gluten strength Remove lines from the CPRS class that do not meet these revised quality requirements Result Class with lower protein than CWRS and can have higher gluten strength than the upper limit of the CWRS class, improve water absorp8on, maintain good extensibility

18 Quality Parameters for the CPSR Class Proposed new check varie4es: Gluten Strength High Moderate to high Variety Glenn AAC Foray Moderate to low HY 537 Minimum level 5700PR Result Class with lower protein than CWRS and can have higher gluten strength than the upper limit of the CWRS class, improve water absorp8on, maintain good extensibility

19 New Canada Western Milling Class Objec4ve Develop a new western Canada milling wheat class to address changing customer requirements and farmers desire to grow US varie8es Process Implement Faller, Unity, and Conquer as the ini8al check varie8es Result Cul8vars will have good milling quality and good water absorp8on, but lower gluten strength than both the CWRS and CPSR classes Protein content will span a broad range

20 Interim Wheat Class Addi4onal Wheat class for 2015/16 Eligible varie8es are Faller, Prosper & Elgin ND Temporary

21 Implement Variety Transi4on Processes Objec4ve Implement transi8on processes for managing and improving wheat class consistency The transi8on of varie8es needs to be carefully managed Process Two protocols have been implemented: 1. Review current varie8es in each class to ensure appropriate placement on CGC s Variety Designa8on Lists and owner no8fica8on as appropriate 2. Lines currently in variety trials which do not meet the quality of the current or new check varie8es will be assessed

22 Process Ensure Appropriate Placement on CGC s Variety Designa4on Lists If a variety no longer met new class quality objec8ves, a leeer was sent to the owner indica8ng that the CGC is moving the variety to another class. Owner no8fica8on of a variety for which there was insufficient data to make a decision will require evalua8on prior to any decision. Owner will grow their variety for 2 years at 6 sites across western Canada against the new class check varie8es CGC will conduct analysis and provide the data to the variety owner amer each year Amer two years CGC will determine if movement is warranted

23 Varie4es Designated to Another Class CWRS Represents 20% of current acreage in 2015 AC Cora Alvena Harvest Neepawa AC Abbey Alikat Kane Park AC Eatonia CDC Makwa Katepwa Pasqua AC MajesBc CDC Osler Leader Pembina AC Michael Columbus Lillian Thatcher AC Minto Conway McKenzie Unity CPSR 5603HR AC Foremost AC Taber Conquer Oslo Varie8es will be designated to another class as of Aug 1, 2018, this may impact spring seeding inten8ons as early as 2016 but definitely spring of 2017

24 Consulta4on Feedback to Proposal Received 45 wrieen submissions (represen8ng 150 orgs) Strong support to protect quality, consistency and end use performance of CWRS and CPSR New wheat class Cau8oned not to make a decision un8l further informa8on on poten8al markets, value and grades Six month extension un8l market scan is completed and reviewed Transi8on and implementa8on period Carefully managed, clear procedure to be communicated to en8re wheat value chain Eastern classes, general purpose and other classes to be reviewed later

25 Next Steps Completed Evaluated varie8es to ensure they meet the new quality characteris8cs for their class Iden8fied cri8cal varie8es to be moved where we had exis8ng informa8on Iden8fied varie8es and no8fied owners where further tes8ng is required Created an interim wheat class for three varie8es that have received interim registra8on (Faller, Prosper and Elgin ND) Grading schedule for interim class to be developed prior to Aug 1, 2015
