Eastern Australia Growing Season 2014/15

•  Moisture conditions less favourable in NNSW & QLD throughout growing season

•  Good early season conditions in Cntl & Sthn NSW, and VIC.

•  Sthn NSW & Vic received below average rainfall through late winter and spring, and conditions deteriorated.

•  All regions had generally drier and warmer than average conditions through spring: contributing to lower yields and higher than average protein levels.

•  Harvest weather conditions generally very good; resulting in early and quick harvest activity.

•  Almost no negative quality impact from weather in harvest period.

Eastern Australia Wheat Quality 2014/15

•  High test weights

•  Average grain size

•  Low moisture contents

•  Above average protein

•  Gluten index >90 for all samples

•  Excellent noodle colour & colour stability

APH: good dough strength & farinograph stability & is typical of the class AH, APW, ASW: good dough strength & balanced dough properties

Benefits of Milling North Eastern Australian Wheat

•  APH is only grown in QLD & NNSW (BLACK SOILS with high nitrogen presence) & in SNSW

•  Most wheat varieties grown in these regions are APH varieties

•  This means that even the lower grades (i.e. AH & APW) have better milling & baking characteristics than non APH varieties i.e. extraction, gluten quality, water absorption & dough strength etc
