Research & Value - Added

The KAWG supports the efforts of Kansas State University in soliciting funds from the state, federal, and private sectors to build new facilities that would the classrooms, offices, labortories and feed mill for the Department of Grain Science and Industry. (November, 2005)

The KAWG would further challenge other organizations, both national and state, to support this effort because it is unique in the United States. There is no other U.S. university with a department whose sole purpose is to support our nation's grain and oilseed processing industries. (November, 2005)

The KAWG supports research and education to study the components in wheat that will have marketable benefits for nutrition, energy or shelter. (November, 2006)

The KAWG supports the sequencing of the wheat genome and the continued efforts of the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC). (November, 2005)

The KAWG urges the USDA Agricultural Research Service support land grant university research to develop Karnal bunt resistant varieties of wheat and to establish best management practises to minimize the impact of Karnal bunt. (December, 2001)

The KAWG supports federal funding for hard winter wheat research such as that performed at the ARS Grain Marketing Production Research Center and land grant universities. (November, 2005)

he KAWG supports the Kansas Wheat Alliance (KWA) to improve production, quality and utilization of wheat through acquiring, licensing and utilizing new technologies. We will partner in the development, marketing and commercialization of these technologies for wheat producers. (August, 2007)
