In order for a variety to be considered for the grain quality characteristics, it has to meet the standards of KVD. If it does not meet the KVD standards, the Canadian Grain Commission will not do the necessary quality analysis on it and it will not be considered.
In the last four years there hasn't been a single winter wheat variety that has successfully gone through that system. In essence, we might just as well shut down all the winter wheat breeding programs in western Canada if the issue of KVD is not dealt with.
