Seasonal opportunity: sprouted wheat for animal feed

cover for feeding sprouted wheat to dairy and beef cattle

On occasion, some farms experience wet weather during harvest, resulting in sprouted wheat. Sprouted wheat is equivalent to non-sprouted wheat in nutritional value for animal feed, unless the sprouting is extensive. In most cases, sprouted wheat can be used freely as a feed component as long as all the standard quality parameters are in place. For more information, please read our fact sheets.

Sprouted grains are not eligible for milling grade premiums, therefore they are discounted to feed grade. This presents customers with an opportunity to buy wheat with good nutritional value at competitive prices.
