New Wheat Crop Report Includes Assessment of Eastern Canada Wheat for First Time

Cereals Canada has released its annual New Wheat Crop Report, the first time the assessment has included wheat from eastern Canada. 

Compiled for global and domestic customers of Canadian wheat, the report includes information on milling performance, flour/semolina quality, and end-product functionality for Canada’s 2025 wheat crop.  

Cereals Canada generated the data for the 2025 New Wheat Crop Report through its Harvest Assessment Program, which has traditionally only included wheat from Western Canada. This year, through a partnership with Grain Farmers of Ontario, the organization also assessed eastern wheat classes.  

According to a Cereals Canada release, favourable weather throughout the eastern Canada winter wheat growing season resulted in “strong yields and good quality.”  

“This was a milestone year for Cereals Canada,” said Elaine Sopiwnyk, vice president of technical services. “Having the opportunity to analyze wheat from across the country broadened the expertise of our technical team and streamlined the process of preparing this year’s New Wheat Crop Report.” 

Overall, Canadian farmers grew 36.6 million tonnes of wheat in 2025, with the majority graded No. 1 or No. 2. 

Despite variable growing conditions across the Prairies, timely mid-summer rains supported higher-than-average yields.
