In 2018 the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reclassified a number of wheat varieties, including some popular varieties in Alberta, and moved them into the Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) wheat class. There was one variety that moved into the CMHR in 2019, and there are five more CWRS varieties being reclassified by the CGC this year. The following varieties will be moving into the CNHR class on August 1st, 2021.• AAC Redwater• AC Domain• Muchmore• Vesper• 5605 HR CLIt is important to note that when you deliver your 2021 new crop harvest after August 1, 2021, these varieties will be classified as CNHR, not CWRS.
