Winco Foods - the flours in the bulk section

I have been shopping at Winco in the bulk section and noticed that they carry -

Whole Wheat Flour and Whole Wheat Bread Flour among many other flours. This got me wondering what exactly the difference was because had not heard of a Whole Wheat Bread Flour. Last time I was there the guy working in that department told me that if I wanted to buy a full bag next time call 2 days before shopping and they will set aside for me. So today I called and talk to them and asked them about some of their flours and this is what he told me:

Whole Wheat Flour - ADM Milling - not sure what one it is from their list http://www.adm.com/en-US/products/Documents/ADM-Milling-Sheet.pdf

Whole Wheat Bread Flour  item #1748 - Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour item #1731 - Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

Bread Flour - ADM Milling Atlas Flour (which their website http://www.adm.com/en-US/products/Documents/ADM-Milling-Sheet.pdf says is First                    Clear Bakers Flour 14.5%

All Purpose Flour - ADM Milling, I believe it is the one they call ADM H&R 10.25%

Dark Rye Flour - Bob's Red Mill

He also told me that the if we want a full bag - the Bob's Red Mill comes in 25 lb and will receive 5% off the price for full bag purchase. The ADM flours are 50 lb bags and the price is the same as if buying by the pound in bulk section - just more convenient if using large amounts.

Has anyone used the ADM flours? http://www.adm.com/en-US/products/food/flour/Pages/default.aspx
