Higher Wheat Protein Levels Being Reported

Sep 02, 2020
Manitoba's cereal harvest is quickly progressing.
 
Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) Agronomy Extension Specialist Mallorie Lewarne talked about quality of the crops.
 
"We're seeing higher wheat protein levels, anywhere from 13 to 15 per cent as fields were fairly dry during the later portion of the growing season, which favours protein development. Generally, the wheat and barley quality has been reported as good across the province so far."
 
Lewarne says most of the winter wheat and barley has been harvested.
 
Spring wheat is about half done. Yields are a bit lower than expected.
