This class of wheat is grown in the Great Plains area of the U. S. which includes the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1981, it formed about 40% of total U. S. wheat production. The wheat is a strong type(gluten quality) and its flour produces good bread. Its average protein content is in the range of 12 to 13%; normally it has good test weight(75 to 77 kilograms per hectolitre) and is low in moisture content(11 to 12%). With proper conditioning it gives good milling results. The most prominent varieties of this group in 1981 were Newton, Larned, Eagle and Scout. Hard red winter wheat has no subclasses for grading purposes. It is assigned numerical grades but has somewhat higher(2 pounds for No. 1 and 1 pound for other grades) test weights. 1, record 3, English, - hard%20red%20winter%20wheat

Cette classe de blé est cultivée dans la Prairie américaine (Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Montana, Dakota du Sud et Wyoming). En 1981, elle représentait environ 40% de la production américaine totale de blé. Ce type de blé est fort en gluten et sa farine donne un bon pain. Pour les protéines, sa teneur moyenne oscille entre 12 et 13%. Son poids spécifique est généralement bon (75 à 77 kg/hl) et sa teneur en eau est faible (11 à 12%). Conditionné convenablement, ce blé possède de bonnes qualités meunières. Les variétés les plus en évidence dans ce groupe, en 1981, étaient le Newton, le Larned, l'Eagle et le Scout (dont le Scout 66). Le blé de force rouge d'hiver n'a pas de sous-classe. On lui attribue des grades numériques, mais il a des poids spécifiques quelque peu plus élevés (2 livres pour le no 1 et 1 livre pour les autres grades). 1, record 3, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20rouge%20d%27hiver

Almost all wheat grown in Canada is spring wheat. However, a small amount of hard red winter wheat is grown in Alberta, and soft white winter wheat is grown in Eastern Canada, mainly in Ontario. Of the spring wheat grown, approximately 80 to 90% is of the hard red type, the remainder being mainly amber durum. Small quantities of both white and soft red spring wheats are grown mainly for domestic consumption. 1, record 5, English, - amber%20durum

La presque totalité du blé cultivé au Canada est du blé de printemps. On trouve cependant en Alberta quelques superficies ensemencées en blé de force rouge d'hiver, et quelques autres dans l'Est, notamment en Ontario, ensemencées en blé tendre blanc d'hiver. Environ 80 à 90% du blé de printemps cultivé entrent dans la classe des blés de force roux (CWRS), le reste étant surtout du blé dur ambré (CWAD). On cultive de petites quantités de blé tendre, blanc ou roux de printemps, surtout pour la consommation intérieure. 1, record 5, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20roux
