Growers in the United States Pacific Northwest were faced with lower prices for wheat due to limitations in the data provided by the Falling Number test, resulting in millions of dollars lost in the area's 2016 harvest.
Wheat farmers are harvesting a record crop for the fourth time in six years, adding to a global grain glut and cutting costs for food makers. Inventories of wheat and feed grains, including corn, will climb to a four-year high of 379 million tons before the start of the 2014 harvest, 12% more than this year.
