[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8034629, member: 44728"] During WW2 the 'National Loaf' was standardised in 1942 due to the inability to assure American and Canadian wheat could be supplied in sufficient quantities to make high quality bread. It was brown and not particularly nice so as to stop people wanting to eat too much of it. We have all seen years when standard bread making wheat quality is difficult to achieve and source, forcing the beadmakers to drop their standard. Those of us growing group 2 wheat varieties, such as Extase, might want to consider selling it as a Bread making wheat this year. The protein requirement today is 11.5%, but even that might change. In fact, it will be quite important to keep each Variety separate rather than putting it all in one heap. Even group 3's. [/QUOTE]
