LINCOLN, Neb. (RFD News) — Nebraska wheat is gaining national attention not only for strong yields in the field, but also for its performance in the bakery.
Katherine Frels with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to talk about receiving the 2026 Miller’s Choice Award.
In her conversation with RFD News, Frels explained why the award is considered a significant recognition for Nebraska wheat producers and researchers. She also details how the evaluation process goes beyond yield numbers alone, with researchers and industry professionals examining milling performance, baking characteristics, and overall end-use quality.
Finally, Frels shares more information for producers interested in growing the wheat variety themselves.
Industry leaders warn of losses to domestic production and jobs.
