U.S. Crop Quality Report Provides Essential Data for Global Wheat Buyers
October 23, 2025
After the collection and analysis of more than 2,250 samples of wheat collected from coast to coast, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) has officially published the 2025 U.S. Crop Quality Report. The report, which is the 46th issued since 1979, provides essential, objective information to help global wheat buyers purchase the wheat they need at the best value possible.
“We are happy to share the 2025 U.S. Crop Quality Report, a detailed look at the high-quality wheat grown by U.S. wheat farmers and used by millers and bakers around the world,” said USW President and CEO Mike Spier. “This USW report reflects not only the quality of the 2025 crop, but also the hard work and commitment of U.S. wheat farmers. We’re proud to share the results of their efforts with our global partners.”
The 2025 report is supported by funding from the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) export market development programs and USW’s state wheat commission members. The report includes class-specific information, starting with samples collected during harvest. Those samples are then sent to six partner laboratories across the United States, who conduct rigorous testing and analysis. This year’s report includes expanded extensograph testing and additional RVA (Rapid Visco Analyser) flour data for both soft and hard winter wheat.
The results are then compiled into the Crop Quality Report, which provides grade, non-grade, flour and specific end-product data. For example, this year’s report included additional data on sponge cake performance for soft red winter wheat. Overall, across all classes, global buyers will find U.S. wheat to be a consistent and reliable foundational ingredient for wheat-based food products.
“The Crop Quality Report provides data to help wheat buyers make informed decisions and to support our millers and bakers in understanding how this year’s crop will perform in their operations,” said Erica Oakley, USW vice president of operations, who oversees the data collection and report production. “A report like this would not be possible without the dedication of American wheat farmers. It would also not be possible without the months-long partnership between USW, state wheat commission members and our partner laboratories. Everyone’s contributions ensure the data we share with customers is accurate, timely and meaningful.”
The 2025 U.S. Crop Quality Report is now available for download in English on the USW website. Versions in other languages—including Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese—will be available when translations are complete.
USW also shares more detailed, regional reports for all six U.S. wheat classes and Desert Durum® on its website. There is also a new standalone document on collection and analysis methods. Find all crop quality reports and related information at uswheat.org/cropquality.
USW staff will now take this data to international customers during the organization’s annual crop quality seminars. This global showcase is expected to include 35 seminars in 30 countries across all regions of the world.
“This blend of technical, policy and producer perspectives ensures that seminar attendees receive a comprehensive view of the U.S. wheat crop and its quality,” Oakley said. “We look forward to sharing information about this year’s wheat crop and connecting with our partners and customers around the world.”
