Milling Wheat
Between a quarter and a third of demand for organic grain is for milling wheat. However, in most seasons millers are forced to import some milling wheat to obtain sufficient high-quality grain.

• Winter drilled varieties are higher yielding but low protein levels may limit premium potential.
• Spring varieties, such as Paragon, have excellent milling potential but are likely to be lower yielding.
• Aim to produce grain of Minimum 11% Protein (dry), 250 HFN and 76Kg/Hl.
• Presentation of the sample is important. Grain must be dry, free from admixture, and have low screenings through a 2mm sieve.
• Be prepared to store grain for a reasonable period if necessary.
• Choose varieties that are acceptable for your intended market
