Ianben, what is "hagberg?" Thank you

[hedgehog]

hagberg falling number dtermines milling quality.
it is highest when wheat is just ripe, and declines after that , especially if it rains. good hagberg is 350, ok is 250, under 200 rejected, unless they are desperate.
i try to cut milling wheat before it is really ripe, to preserve hagberg

[charliep]

Falling number test.

Charlie.
How do you make the link appear blue so you just click it?

But ignore Hagberg if you are western canadian because we are in the stone age still. But in 5 or so years they may introduce RVA testing just 5 so years after they told us they would 5 or so years ago.

See you are familiar with HGCA Charlie
This should show you how good we are at producing grade 1 milliing wheat.

Only just over one in five passed and only samples with a chance of passing are tested.

Too risky for me.
