The most exciting news about this year's wheat crop is there is no exciting news, the Wheat Marketing Center's executive director says. Protein levels, kernel weights, test weights, falling numbers, ash and other characteristics are all consistent with five-year averages. 2022 is "a relatively normal year for the Pacific Northwest for soft wheats," said Mike Moran, executive director. Some pockets of the region might have slightly lower test weights, but it's nothing of concern to a miller or exporter, Moran said. Moran and technical director Jayne Bock provided an update on the wheat crop during the Idaho Wheat Commission 's "From the Field" webinar. Watch the webinar below or listen to the podcast here.
