Hard Red Winter

Hard red winter harvest is complete in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and South Dakota. Montana is the only state with significant cutting. Montana: Hot, dry weather has helped harvest to progress nicely this week, with percentage complete moving up to 75-80%. Test weights are very good, averaging close to 62.0 lb/bu (81.5 kg/hl). Moisture is low, ranging from 9.8% to 10.5%, and the protein range is 12.3% to 13.0%. Falling numbers are averaging around 450. Yields are ranging from the mid-40’s to the 70’s, which should put metric tons close to the USDA production estimate of 90 million bushels.

Soft Red Winter

Soft red winter harvest is complete for this year. Following are flour data for surveyed SRW states: Illinois. Milling yield is higher than in 2006. Flour ash, farinograph data and bake results are very close to 2006 results. Absorption is down and cookie W/T is higher this year. Indiana. Flour ash and milling yield have increased this year. Absorption is also increased. Cookie W/T is lower, and the bread volume is higher. Kentucky. Milling yield is higher this year. Flour ash is acceptable and bread volume is slightly higher this year. Cookie W/T is slightly higher. Maryland. Milling yield is slightly better, although flour ash has increased. Cookie W/T is lower while the bread volume is similar to last year. Farinograph absorption is higher this year. Missouri. Milling yield is higher compared to last year, but the flour ash is high. Farinograph absorption has decreased. Bake volume is higher while other bake data is similar to 2006. Cookie W/T is lower. North Carolina. Flour ash is higher than 2006 while milling yield is slightly lower. Farinograph data is similar to 2006. Bread volume is higher and the cookie W/T is lower than 2006. Ohio. Milling yield is slightly better than last year with a similar flour ash. Farinograph data and bake volume are also similar to 2006 results. Cookie W/T is higher this year. Virginia. Milling yield is very good this year, ash value is higher than in 2006 but still acceptable. Absorption is 1% lower and bake data is similar to 2006 results. Cookie W/T is higher.

Soft White

The Pacific Northwest soft white harvest is now at a slightly faster pace in Idaho and Washington, and about one week ahead in Oregon when compared to the same time last year. This week’s SW samples mainly consist of 47% from east central Washington, 31% from north central and northeastern Oregon, and 15% from southern Idaho. This week’s sample averages had the following changes from last week: test weight increased slightly to 60.3 lb/bu (79.3 kg/hl), moisture content increased 0.5 percentage points to 9.9%, protein decreased 0.7 percentage points to 9.8%, and falling number value increased slightly to 314 seconds. Pacific Northwest wheat producing areas had hot and dry weather conditions for the second week.
