Foodland Ontario Expansion - Week 5, Summer Crop Tour Game

Wheat producers in Ontario see golden opportunities with today’s announcement from the Ontario Agriculture Minister to extend the Foodland Ontario brand to include baked goods. Different kinds of wheat are used to make specific baked products. In Ontario, farmers grow six different types of wheat – making our province the most diverse wheat-growing region in North America. This week, the different varieties of wheat are visible in farmers’ fields. Some will resemble tall green grass, while other crops are maturing and will be ready for harvest in July. Ontario wheat is used in many baked goods, from cookies and cakes to bagels and bread.
