Funded Projects
The North Dakota Wheat Commission funds wheat research projects that help enhance the competitiveness of wheat and improve quality characteristics of the state's wheat crop. Producers see the direct benefit of the research through new and improved wheat varieties, pest management practices and facilities and equipment that showcase the quality of their product to the world. Funded projects fall into the following general categories:
Breeding and Genetics
Soil Science
Capital Improvement
End-Use Quality
Economics and Transportation
Agronomic Research
Customer Service and Miscellaneous
