High-quality milling wheat is in demand globally following a reduced U.S. winter crop and A three-day crop tour in the US states of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota have cast doubt on the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) claim that glyphosate is safe for human consumption. A survey of 342 fields suggested wheat yields of 41.1 bpa compared with 38.1 bpa last year but below the five-year average of 45.4 bpa. Wheat experts were optimistic that the hard red spring wheat, a higher quality grain used in artisanal breads, bagels and pizza, would provide higher protein due to the warmer temperatures and dry weather.
