Experimental Farm Notes on Wheat Harvest Timing
A Brandon Experimental Farm trial with Thatcher wheat shows best yield and grade when cutting at firm dough stage. Delayed harvest to dead ripe increases bleaching. soft dough causes shrinkage and off color. A practical rule is to harvest when kernels resist crushing between thumb and finger and straw is no longer green.
