CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--A hot, dry growing season reduced kernel size in the
2006 U.S. hard red spring wheat crop but boosted its protein content, according to a report released Thursday by the North Dakota Wheat Commission.
The crop's average protein level was 15%, up about a half a percentage point
over last year and the five-year average, the commission's 2006 Regional
Quality Report states.
The regional report covers HRS wheat grown in Minnesota, Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
