Canadian wheat still the best
BISMARCK ND A state marketing expert says European flour millers are generally pleased with North Dakota hard red spring and durum wheat though some prefer Canadian wheat. Ron Fraase of the North Dakota Wheat Commission cites dockage and kernel quality as main U.S. drawbacks while noting Europe tightens imports and shifts toward protectionism. He urges stressing U.S. durum's spaghetti color and baking traits to maintain market share.
