Abstract
The Australian cereal harvest is unique in that it is characterised by a short receival season, limited on-farm storage, remoteness of many receival silos, extremes of ambient tempera tures (5-50°C countrywide) and often a dry and dusty silo environment. Prior to the 1960s, few flour mills had protein testing equipment and grading according to protein content at country silos was almost non-existent. Where grading occurred, it was based on mechanical gluten washing or mottled grain count. Neither provided precise measures of protein content but gluten washing had the advantage that it was biased according to dough strength and thus also provided a segregation on that basis.
