The Cereal Research Centre, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's national network of 19 research centres. The centre focuses on wheat and oat breeding, and improving cereal quality and resistance to diseases and insect pests.

Research projects cover all aspects of cereals development from the initial stages of identifying genes that control traits of economic importance to the registration of new varieties. The centre's objectives are to supply producers and end users with high quality, high-yielding, disease-resistant varieties that are well-adapted to Canadian prairie growing conditions. In addition, research is conducted to predict and mitigate pest problems during cereal storage in bulk or as processed food.

The Morden Research Station at Morden, Manitoba is linked to the Cereal Research Centre. This station develops new varieties and production technology, focusing on flax, pulse crops and landscape plants.

Additional field plots are at Glenlea, Manitoba, south of Winnipeg.
