Harvest Report - August 27, 2004 |
Hard Red Winter
|
The hard red winter harvest is continuing in Montana with no significant falling number issues. Eastern Montana is showing a protein average of 13.6% with test weight averaging 66.3 lb/bu (87.1 kg/hl).
The remaining Kansas distribution has been completed.
- West central Kansas flour yield was slightly low, but farinogram data is quite satisfactory. Bake volume is excellent with an open grain.
- Southwest Kansas flour yield is low this year. The wheat protein content is 15.0%, and this gave a strong farinogram and excellent baking results.
- Central Kansas milling yield is 69.4% with a very satisfactory flour ash content. The farinogram stability is excellent, but absorption levels are low. The bake data is satisfactory.
- South central Kansas is much like the central district. The absorption is again quite low, while the loaf volume is satisfactory but slightly less than the central district.
- Eastern Kansas had almost 80% of the samples with protein less than 11.5%. The farinogram data indicates little stability and a very low absorption. The bread interior scores were excellent.

Hard Red Spring
|
This week's hard red spring data represents about 30% of the HRS wheat crop. Wheat harvest throughout the southern part of the region made good progress during the week. The average test weight (60.7 lb/bu or 79.8 kg/hl) is higher than last week's average of 60.4 lb/bu (79.5 kg/hl). The five-year average test weight for the region is 59.7 lb/bu or 78.6 kg/hl.
This week's average thousand kernel weight (31.4 g) is lower than last week. The average wheat moisture content dropped from 13.3% last week to 13.0% this week. The average wheat protein content increased from 13.5% last week to 14.0% this week. Last year the average wheat protein content was 14.2% and the five-year average is 14.5%. The average vitreous kernel (DH&V) content also increased from 61% to 74% this week. The average grade for the region is 1NS. The average falling number for the 2004 crop is 411 seconds. The five-year average falling number is 360.

Soft White
|
The 2004 Pacific Northwest soft white wheat harvest is moving about one week slower than the 2003 crop. This week's SW samples mainly consist of 24% from southeastern Washington, 18% from east central Washington, 13% from northern Idaho, 12% from north central Oregon and 11% from south central Idaho. This week's samples indicated the same moisture and protein levels (9.1% and 10.4% respectively) as last week's samples. This week's samples also had slightly higher thousand kernel weight at 36.5 g compared to 36.1 g, as well as higher test weight at 60.5 lb/bu (79.6 kg/hl) compared to 60.3 lb/bu (79.3 kg/hl). Falling number values remained virtually unchanged at 358 seconds indicating very little, if any, sprout damage.
