Harvest Report - September 17, 2010 |
Hard Red Winter
|
The 2010 HRW wheat harvest is complete, with data below including non-weighted averages for all samples except for six Montana samples which will be submitted to the lab this week. Many areas of Colorado and the northern states were weeks behind with harvest as compared to the five-year average. This was especially true in Montana where spring wheat harvest is now estimated to be over three weeks behind the five-year average harvest date.
With almost all samples evaluated, several themes have emerged. Test weights have been very good, averaging 61.0 lbs/bu., with over 70% of the samples grading HRW #1. Kernel diameter was also very good with this crop, averaging 2.6 (mm). Another common theme with the 2010 crop was lower protein in many regions, with an overall protein of 11.7%. Consequently, the resulting dough and bake test data related to protein are below long term averages, including water absorption and loaf volumes. Individual testing data can be viewed at www.plainsgrains.org.
This report concludes the weekly Harvest Summary for the 2010 HRW crop. However, a final report will be posted when all sample testing is complete, evaluated, and weighted for production.

Soft Red Winter
|
The final SRW weekly report was issued August 6. Compared to the final data from 2009, the grade has increased to a #2 from last year's #3. Test weight has increased from 57.8 to 58.5 lb/bu (77.0 kg/hl) while foreign material increased from 0.0 last year to 0.3 in 2010. Damage is lower this year (1.4% compared to 2.3%), and shrunken and broken is virtually the same as last year. Total defects have decreased to 2.3% from 2.9%
(Harvest Report Editor's Note: There is very wide variability in test weight results from state to state in the 2010 SRW crop with test weights generally higher in the Eastern states of Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina and lower in the other six states surveyed. The averages reported in these weekly harvest reports are a simple average of the results of the samples collected and tested. Weighting the results for production by state, which is done in USW's annual Crop Quality Report, yields a lower average test weight value of 57.9 lb/bu and a lower average grade of #3.)
According to NASS survey data (not final production data), estimates of this year's Soft Red Winter crop are smaller than last year's in total production in each of the states included in our sampling program. The NASS survey on production shows the estimated Missouri and Illinois crop at approximately 38% of last year's total bushels harvested. The smallest decrease compared to 2009 is Maryland at an estimated 84% of last year's total bushels harvested. Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia are estimated at 71%, 77%, and 74%, respectively, of last year's production. Of the nine states surveyed, three had an increase in bu/acre while the remaining six decreased. Ohio had the highest at 66 bu/acre and North Carolina the lowest at 37 bu/acre.
The laboratory mill flour ash is equal to 2009 for the entire sampling region. Farinograph absorption is unchanged for the average of the entire sampling region with Kentucky and Arkansas having the largest increase ( about 2%) and Maryland the largest decrease (about 2%). Bread volume is unchanged from last year with 738 cc in 2010 compared to 731 cc in 2009. Cookie W/T is higher in general this year with Illinois showing the largest increase (2.53) and Kentucky the largest decrease (1.61).

Hard Red Spring
|
Harvest and sample collection progress continues to be slow this week because of rain showers in the Hard Red Spring wheat growing region. Approximately 83% of the spring wheat samples have been collected and analyzed for quality. The majority of the samples to be collected are from Montana where harvest is 56% complete. The falling number average is 400 seconds indicating a sound wheat crop. Preliminary distributions indicate that almost 81% of the samples analyzed had a hectoliter weight of 79 kg/hl or higher compared to 86% last year. Protein distributions on samples analyzed so far indicate that 50% of the samples are 14% or higher (12% moisture basis) compared to 36% last year.

Soft White
|
The soft white harvest is now coming to an end and this is the final weekly report. A total of 354 soft white samples were received and tested. All data essentially stayed the same as last week, including moisture at 9.4% and protein at 9.7%. Test weight decreased slightly to 59.6 lb/bu (78.5 kg/hl). The following changes were observed for the 2010 SW crop when compared to last year's averages: test weight decreased to 59.6 lb/bu (78.5 kg/hl) from 59.8 lb/bu (78.7 kg/hl) last year; wheat moisture content increased to 9.4% from 9.3% last year; wheat protein decreased to 9.7% from 10.3% last year; falling number value increased to 338 seconds from 324 seconds last year; and thousand kernel weight increased to 34.4 grams from 33.1 grams last year. In addition, whole meal wet gluten content decreased to 20.3% from 24.2% last year as a result of lower protein content. SW low (less than 9.0%), medium (9.0-10.5%), high (greater than 10.5%) protein, WC, and production zone composites will be made to test for the 2010 Crop Quality Booklet and the Pacific Northwest Soft White Wheat Quality Report.
