Not sucking up to you guys or starting a pissing match, but I was always lead to believe and still do I guess the best wheats in the world are from Canada and Australia. A farmer from cochin visited years ago and he said best wheat in the world is from peace river region.
Possibly the Australian best wheat comments comes from our segregations at the elevator we have 8 at our local many have up to a dozen plus but alas protein premiums stop at 14.5 not that I ever get that high.
One of the perceived quality issues is a trader/buyer purchases a vessel load of wheat. Buys 75% 8 to 10.5 protein wheat then tops it up with prime hard 13 plus and calls it H2 but AWB in there single desk days said they never did that lol..........Flour mills suggest they can pick blended wheat in flour making process and end product. Who knows.
More product differentiation happens with container box trade in my opinion. Wonder with rising sea freight rates if box trade will be appealing this year as other years.
ps a good finishing rain forecast tonight tomorrow 10 to maybe even 30mm and some mid next week.
