Brian Walker, who is a retired technical director for Miller Milling, was a host on the Wheat Quality Council spring wheat tour. Walker said the wheat that will be ready to harvest in the next couple weeks looks good. “I don’t know that the yields are as good in the earlier-planted wheat this year but what’s out there looks good,” Walker told RRFN. “There wasn’t much disease, no real pest problems of any magnitude but we did see variability.” Walker believes the later-planted spring wheat has the potential to yield better than the earlier-planted crop.
