ADM Canadian Western Red Spring Wheat Project

Establish and insight project with Field to Market Canada to engage 35-40 farmers in Easter Saskatchewan and Manitoba to demonstrate the sustainability of Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS) production in the supply chain. ADM Milling recognizes that supply chains are being asked to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing integral to feeding a growing global population. Producers are being asked to help define agriculture’s environmental footprint and to demonstrate that crops are responsibly grown, while balancing economically sustainable yield and profit. Working together across the supply chain, ADM seeks to address these demands.

Engagement Targets

Notes: (1) I Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.

Objectives

Collect data from 35-40 farmers with the goal of 320 acres per farmer and a total of >10,000 acres in the project. Provide each farmer feedback on how their operation compares with the regional/provincial sustainability benchmarks.
First Party Verified

One grower enrolled in 2021 to establish a starting baseline in the region.
