PGI HRW Harvest Summary August 28 2020

The remaining states in the Pacific Northwest still harvesting HRW should finish up over the weekend or early next week.  Idaho and Washington are at or just above 90% complete while Oregon is now complete.  Montana is just over 90% complete (92%).  Some delays and slowing of harvest are expected from this point forward due less mature irrigated fields and cool nighttime temperatures.  Samples collected and tested through the Washington State Department of Agriculture Grain Inspection labs are indicating an 11.7% average protein, 8.7% moisture and an average test weight of 62.1 lb/bu (81.7 kg/hl)…
