“A study showed that
the CREG methods
were useful in predicting
wheat cultivars with
good machine-ability
and baking performance
and a balance of both
factors.”
“New to 2008, the
FAPC started providing
communications
services to new start-up
companies. I’ve enjoyed
working with these new
companies and helping
with their communications
needs.”
“The future is sweet!”

“I have really come to
admire the clients that
come to the FAPC with
this great pie or cookie
recipe and have the
gumption to follow
through with their product
all the way to it being sold
in a store.”
“Transferring to the
FAPC has been both
challenging and
rewarding.”
“Rising energy and waste
disposal costs coupled
with global economic
uncertainty brought
significant challenges to
the food and agricultural
processing industry in 2008,
and we are focusing our
efforts to help.”
