Harvest Report - July 25, 2008 |
Hard Red Winter
|
Hard red winter harvest is nearly complete in Colorado and Nebraska.
By the end of the week, harvest will be approximately 85% to 90% complete in Colorado. Test weights have been averaging around 60 pounds per bushel (78.9 kg/hl) and proteins around 12%. Currently, USDA is estimating the Colorado wheat crop at 56 million bushels based on 2 million acres being harvested and an average statewide yield of 28 bushels per acre.
In Nebraska, harvest is approximately 80% complete. In the northwest, irrigated wheat harvest is expected to begin today or tomorrow and continue next week. The southwest is in full swing with irrigated wheat harvest and there are still a few traces of wheat to be harvested in the south central part of the state. Earlier this week, USDA reported that wheat conditions rated 4% very poor, 8% poor, 32% fair, 45% good and 11% excellent. Overall, reports of wheat quality appear good, yet there are some reports in the panhandle of unexpectedly poor yields and small heads. Statewide, protein levels are relatively high, being above average in many locations.

Soft Red Winter
|
The analysis of the 359 SRW samples has been completed as of this report. The additional samples have not altered the cumulative data much at all from last week with the exception of test weight. There is a 0.1% increase in dockage, a 0.4 gm increase in 1000 kernel weight, a 0.8 lb/bu decrease in test weight, and a 0.3% increase in damage compared to last week. The grade has dropped to a US # 2 SRW at this point, cumulatively. Falling number value is steady at 332. This compares to the final data from 2007 which showed 10.3% protein, 59.8 lb/bu test weight (78.7 kg/hl), 0.3% damage and a 344 falling number value.
The samples tested this week from Missouri, Maryland and Ohio had slightly less protein than last year. Test weights were lower in the samples from Missouri, Maryland, and Ohio and about the same in Indiana. Ohio, Missouri and Indiana all had samples with falling number values below 300. Milling yields in Maryland were equal to 2007 but lower in Ohio, Missouri and Indiana. Flour ash has been very good across the areas analyzed this week.
Maryland had a higher farinograph absorption, but southern Ohio and eastern Missouri were unchanged from last year. Cookie bake test results from Maryland and eastern Missouri are similar to last year but better in southern Ohio and southern Indiana.
