Concern for wheat quality growing as harvest wet weather continues

摘要

Concern is growing over the milling wheat harvest as grain quality is dipping in a stop-go harvest with many idle combines waiting for rain showers to pass.Early-cut wheat shows good milling quality, but the recent rain could hit Hagberg levels - which measures the gluten quality of wheat flour - in crops ready to harvest in south-eastern England.Grain buyers advise milling wheat growers to cut if grain moisture dips below 20% to try and ensure they hit the specifications millers need.
