Advice from an Expert
Excellent quality his year with 99%
of samples graded CESRW No.2 or
above. Weathering was the primary downgrading factor between No.1 and
No.2. Expectational crop quality with high falling numbers across all grades. The average falling number 342 seconds.
Grading Factors
99% graded No.2 or above.
Protein
8.1%
Protein levels are ideal and similar to last year. Gluten is more extensible this year but within the acceptable range for this wheat class.
Milling Quality
Milling yields are at acceptable levels.
Flour yield on a total products basis is lower compared to last year but similar when corrected to a 0.50% constant ash basis.
Application Performance
Easy-to-manage, versatile and easy
to handle during production. The peak viscosity increase significantly as a result
of the lower alpha-amylase activity. Cookie bake results indicated cookies were thinner with more spread compared to last year.

Advice from an Expert
PAOLO SANTANGELO
Operations Manager
Users of CESRW can expect a relatively seamless transition from a great quality 2021 crop to another quality 2022 crop.
Improved Viscosity
The increased
viscosity allows
for better versatility during production
and improving its functionality as a
batter coating and thickening agent.
Great Quality Wheat
With low instances of fusarium damage and higher acceptable falling numbers, millers will enjoy the benefits
of a secure supply of great quality CESRW wheat without any worries.
Bakes Great Cookies
