More protein. Less yield.

How did yours yield?
So far we've had 6,876 tonnes under 10%,
Including 2,397 tonnes under 9%
and 427 tonnes under 8%
How are people finding their wheat protein levels. Ours have never been so low feed and milling

I'm somewhat surprised that my Dawsum that has the dark 'Pears soap' colour normally associated with high protein, is measuring low 10's%.
As a hard gp4 it was never going to be a quality wheat, but it looked for all the world better than the most basic of 'Hard Biscuit' spec.
Bugger.
As an aside, some would suggest that the optimum protein for feed wheat is 10%, so at least the overpriced total N rate was about right.

Just googled Hemswell just a massive grain storage then there is a smaller one to the left of the large storage is that part of your organization or another smaller storage facility?

My gut instinct is saying lack of sulphur. Will be investigating more.

The big shed next door isn't ours. Tested positive for CIPCs last time we had the chance of taking it on. Shame because the eaves are high and the floor is like glass.

Terrible yields but ok proteins. Lowest 12.22. Highest 14.88.
Had it tested by 4 outlets and all have different results for the same batches of grain all bagged at the same time.
Still got to cut spring wheat which should be good proteins but again looks like a very average yielding crop.
Just shy of 9% on the gleam and 11.4 for the ladum spring wheat, yields ok but nothing exciting.
How much of that is group 1 ? Are those figures normal?

All Crusoe 12.2 - 12.95, 280 kg N
All Extase 10.4 - 11.1, 300 kg N
Wonāt be trying that with Extase again, itās also got more ergot than any other variety.

What is CIPC?

Only 4 loads of that is Gp1.
Definitely not normal, this year's average wheat protein probably down by 1 to 1.5% across everything.

It was a sprouting inhibitor, applied to stored potatoes but withdrawn in 2019.
Grainstores must have a zero residue.
It is an old hangar that was used by the Riley's crisp factory in Scunthorpe (which became Golden Wonder, then Tayto).

Is it not cleanable?

That mirrors our results exactly , one good block of skyfall crept to 12.2
