Durum Wheat in the United States and Markets
Durum wheat varieties, led by Kurbanka, thrive in semi arid regions with no irrigation. US production reaches about 60 million bushels yearly, mainly in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Montana, with ten million from southwestern and Pacific Coast states. Export demand to Europe grows as milling use rises in Minnesota and North Dakota. Durum flour offers better bread flavor and moisture, though loaf color and rise can be imperfect, and efforts continue to develop winter varieties and maintain pure durum stocks. Cardinal Gibbons comments on rising food prices underline a broader economic concern.
