Q: What is the most common type of wheat grown in Alberta?

Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS) is the most popular grown wheat in Canada, around 60% of annual production, due to it high protein content. Canada is known around the world for its high-quality wheat, with CWRS in particular being hailed for its superior milling and baking quality.
