shovel leaner 7,650 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have just got my first load of this years wheat,and it looks very poor .The grains are all shriveled up and generally small.I have been talking to a couple of lads up and down the country and it looks like we are in the same boat.Talking to the contractor and he tells me that all his milling wheat is going to animal feed,its been a bad year.
