'Heat Stress' downgrading wheat?

I am not seeing heat stress as much as reduced yield. What looks like a great crop is just average. All #1.

Tom4 how is that defined?

60 to 80 straw on both durum and hrs. Yield
average at best.

wd9,

It looks somewhat like frost... but ususally just on the back of the kernel and not as deep a wrinkle.

An old grain buyer told me that heat wrinkles go one direction on a kernal and frost wrinkles go the opposite direction.

You should phone the cwb as they have the farmer's interest taken care of. They will straighten out those bad grain companies and their shyster ways.

Hurry before they are gone!

Unfortunately, most don't realize they are in on it.

Sounds like another chance to buy it as one thing and sell it as another.

I'm sure Australian wheat would never have this "problem". Customers just wouldn't buy it from them, right?

Never heard of it down south and we always
have heat stress.

I am seeing the same in our infinity wheat. 60
plus bushels of straw and only 45-50 of yield.
