Established in 1932, the Canadian Cattlemen's Association is the only national association representing the interests of Canada's 90, 000 beef producers. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association provides the leadership and unity necessary to speak as one voice for the beef industry. This includes assisting in its development, adaptation to new ideas and technologies, and in its prosperity. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association is structured to represent every phase of the production system; the purebred, cow/calf, backgrounding and feedlot sectors. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association is involved in a wide range of issues that are of concern to Canadian beef producers. These include trade, animal health, environment and animal care, fiscal and monetary policy, and grading/inspection, to name just a few. In addition the Canadian Cattlemen's Association works closely with other sectors of the agriculture and food industries on matters of mutual concern. 3, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Cattle%20Association

This class of wheat is grown in the Great Plains area of the U. S. which includes the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1981, it formed about 40% of total U. S. wheat production. The wheat is a strong type(gluten quality) and its flour produces good bread. Its average protein content is in the range of 12 to 13%; normally it has good test weight(75 to 77 kilograms per hectolitre) and is low in moisture content(11 to 12%). With proper conditioning it gives good milling results. The most prominent varieties of this group in 1981 were Newton, Larned, Eagle and Scout. Hard red winter wheat has no subclasses for grading purposes. It is assigned numerical grades but has somewhat higher(2 pounds for No. 1 and 1 pound for other grades) test weights. 1, record 4, English, - hard%20red%20winter%20wheat

Cette classe de blé est cultivée dans la Prairie américaine (Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, Dakota du Sud et Wyoming). En 1981, elle représentait environ 40% de la production américaine totale de blé. Ce type de blé est fort en gluten et sa farine donne un bon pain. Pour les protéines, sa teneur moyenne oscille entre 12 et 13%. Son poids spécifique est généralement bon (75 à 77 kg/hl) et sa teneur en eau est faible (11 à 12%). Conditionné convenablement, ce blé possède de bonnes qualités meunières. Les variétés les plus en évidence dans ce groupe, en 1981, étaient le Newton, le Larned, l'Eagle et le Scout (dont le Scout 66). Le blé de force rouge d'hiver n'a pas de sous-classe. On lui attribue des grades numériques, mais il a des poids spécifiques quelque peu plus élevés (2 livres pour le no 1 et 1 livre pour les autres grades). 1, record 4, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20rouge%20d%27hiver

In the grading system, the break "chop" is segregated into purifier stocks of a specific particle size range. The narrower the range, the more precise and effective is the work of the purifier. The largest particles of endosperm originating in the first three break passages are too large for immediate inclusion in the finished semolina and are passed to the sizing rolls. These rolls have very fine corrugations, up to 20 per centimetre. When set accurately they clip the coarse semolina into smaller pieces and make a minimum amount of flour in the process. 1, record 6, English, - sizing%20roll

Dans le calibrage, le produit de broyage est divisé en produits sassés en fonction de leur granulation. Plus la gamme de produits est étroite, plus le travail des sasseurs est précis et efficace. Les fragments d'albumen provenant des trois premiers passages de mouture sont en général trop gros pour être inclus immédiatement dans les semoules obtenues et sont donc repris par les claqueurs. Ceux-ci ont des cannelures très fines, jusqu'à 20 par cm. Lorsqu'ils sont réglés avec précision, ils écrasent les grosses semoules en plus petits fragments en n'extrayant qu'un minimum de farine. 1, record 6, French, - claqueur
