How Food Grade Grains Can Fit into Midwest Farm and Food Systems

Food-grade grains offer a win–win: a profitable value-added market opportunity and a boost to soil health when included in your crop rotation. But how do you ensure your grain meets the quality standards buyers expect?

In this webinar, we’ll tackle the most common questions about growing for the food-grade grain market.

Dr. Nicole Tautges, Lead Agronomist at the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, will walk us through the varieties and market classes of common food grade grains in the Upper Midwest, along with and key agronomic tips for growing success.

We’ll also hear firsthand from two seasoned farmers, Wesley Reith and Willie Hughes, who have years of experience growing a wide range of food-grade crops. They’ll share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
