EDITORIAL: At the 2026 annual meeting of the North American Millers’ Association (NAMA), speaker after speaker returned to the same theme — resilience.

Much of the presentation by economist Scott Colbert from Commerce Bank showed the resilience of the US economy despite pressure on the consumer and a spike in energy prices.

Sam Kieffer, chief executive officer of the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), used the term directly, speaking of the wheat farming community’s travails over the last several years.

“Farmers are resilient,” he said. “Farmers enjoy what they do, but they also need to see a future in their business.”

NAMA President Jane DeMarchi chose the same language as Kieffer to describe the milling industry.

With the blows the grain-based foods industry has endured over its history, the wheat foods chain certainly has developed impressive resilience muscle, strength that will be put to the test in the coming year.

As it has done for more than four decades, U.S. Wheat Associates is bringing the story of the U.S. wheat crop 🌾 directly to customers worldwide, pairing the release of its annual Crop Quality Report with an international seminar series designed to help millers and other wheat buyers make informed purchasing decisions.

Available for download on the USW website, the 2026 report provides an in-depth look at this year's crop characteristics, including protein content, test weight, kernel properties, milling performance and flour functionality. It also examines how growing conditions, harvest timing and regional differences influence the wheat available for export. It gives customers technical information to evaluate U.S. wheat and determine how different classes and crop characteristics fit their milling and end-product needs.

👀 𝐍𝐄𝐖! — Spaghetti data for U.S. hard red winter wheat is included for the first time, expanding the information available to customers evaluating wheat performance in pasta production.

To access the 2026 report and additional resources, hear directly from staff in video interviews, and preview the upcoming seminars, visit the link at the top ⬆️ of our page right below our name "U.S. Wheat" or at https://www.facebook.com/uswheat/directory_links

ICYMI: South Dakota’s winter wheat crop is off to a strong start this fall. As of October 18, 89% of the crop is planted, right in line with the five-year average, and 64% has emerged, ahead of the typical 55%.

“Everyone I’ve spoken with says the crop looks great,” said Jon Kleinjan, executive director of the South Dakota Wheat Commission. With another good soaking rain possibly on the way, that’s welcome news heading into winter.
