| SRW is not considered a high pro wheat class
The buyers use it for different uses
We never get protein check in our area, because it is all the same and used for the same thing
Not usually worth as much as your high pro wheat
Lots of different markets and kinds of wheat and specs.
We have more problems with quality, moisture, sprouting, toxin etc.
Such as it will not stop raining so we can harvest or see it go to grade 3 on quality issues
Every bu. is going through the drier, in our area, this yr. Harvest @ 18% or less, just to get it done before a grade 3 or worse
Our elevators have learned how to dry wheat, rather well
Great Lakes region, white and SEW is grown, but white wheat is really a gamble for sprouts and quality
It is used for human consumption, if the quality is perfect
5% of our acres are wheat and 50% or the problems, but we need it in some of our soils for soil structure, compaction the big one
and soil tilth also a big reason [ hard clay soils] | |
