                 Hard Winter Wheat Regional Quality Reports
 
       Milling, breadmaking and dough-handling properties of hard winter
  wheats entered in three regional testing nurseries are listed.  The
  nurseries are: Southern Regional Performance Nursery (SRPN), Northern
  Regional Performance Nursery (NRPN), and the Western Plains Regional
  Performance Nursery (WPRPN).  Tested samples were composites from
  multilocation trials.  Data are reported in three tables: Physical data,
  Chemical and Mixograph data, and Breadmaking data.  The following
  parameters are reported:
 
  Line                Cultivar name or experimental line number.
 
  Testweight          lbs/bushel
 
  1000 kernel weight  grams
 
  kernel sizing       % large (>2.92 mm diameter), medium (< 2.92 > 2.24 mm), 
                      and small (< 2.24 mm) kernels.

                      moisture (%), weight (mg) and diameter (mm).
 
  Hardness            hardness score from single kernel hardness tester

   Mix Time           Time, in minutes, to peak dough development
   Tolerance          resistance of dough to overmixing (0 = unsatisfactory, 
                      7 = outstanding).
 
  Breadmaking
   flour protein      flour protein content
   flour absorption   optimal water added (%) for breadmaking
   mixtime            bake mix time
   dough weight       dough weight after mixing
   proof height       height of loaf (cm) after proofing
   crumb grain        internal loaf appearance; 0 = unsatisfactory, 
                      6 = outstanding).
   loaf 
    volume            cc (by rapeseed displacement)
    specific volume   cc/gram

  The data were obtained from the USDA Grain Marketing Research Laboratory,
  Manhattan, Kansas.  For additional information please contact O.K. Chung
