Following a hot, dry spring, Valley United Co-op Chief Operating Officer Travis Hegg is surprised by the wheat being delivered to the Reynolds, North Dakota location. “The quality has been great,” said Hegg. “We’re seeing 62-to-64 pound wheat. Proteins have kinda been all over the board, close to 16 (percent) and down to 11 (percent).” Yields are also a surprise. “Everybody was thinking that we really got a lot of heat here and was going to see some short bushels and high protein; that didn’t hold true.”
