Strong world wheat demand expected

North America’s spring wheat could be in high demand this year due to crop quality problems overseas.

He has heard about serious quality problems in the European Union, including Poland, which produces the highest protein wheat in the region.

“Apparently, they’re injecting artificial gluten protein into their wheat when they’re making flour,” said Townsend.

“They have to bulk it up (because) it’s so low this year.”
