A U S Department of Agriculture wheat grade notice arrived at Fred Bennion county agent's office in Washington D C. The report notes flour yield per bushel and that 68 pound wheat commands higher value than 57 pound wheat, so no price reduction is planned to avoid depriving farmers of rightful prices.
The report explains why moisture content above 15 percent is unsafe for transport and storage and why higher rye content is not allowed in wheat. It notes a lower price for drier wheat and states the department rejected broader rye limits. Umatilla County caravans welcome the decision as beneficial to local growers in the central Northwest.
