Utilization of Canada Prairie Spring. In this class of wheat, the grain is characterized by medium levels of protein(about 1. 5 to 2% less than Neepawa), gluten and hardness. Theoretically, such wheats would be expected to fall somewhere between the hard and the soft wheats with regards to their medium quality aspects. 5, record 2, English, - Canada%20Prairie%20Spring%20wheat
