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 4, 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 4, French, - bl%C3%A9%20de%20force%20rouge%20d%26rsquo%3Bhiver

... When wheat is milled into flour, starch granules are subjected to physical damage and granules may be fractured, cracked, chopped or otherwise changed. As a result, normal flours may contain varying amounts of starch granules damaged to varying degrees in addition to intact starch granules. Hard wheat flours usually have much higher starch damage values than soft wheat flours. Starch granules in soft wheat endosperm are loosely bound in the kernel and easily released in milling; on the other hand, starch granules in hard wheat endosperm are firmly bound in a much stronger protein matrix and therefore more liable to damage when endosperm fragments are reduced during milling. 1, record 5, English, - hard%20wheat%20flour

[...] Lors de la mouture du blé, les granules d’amidon sont exposés à des dommages physiques et peuvent être écrasés, fêlés, fendus ou altérés de quelque façon. Conséquemment, les farines normales peuvent contenir diverses proportions de granules d’amidon plus ou moins endommagés, en plus de granules intacts. Les farines de blés de force sont généralement plus exposées à ces dommages que celles de blés tendres. Dans le cas des blés tendres, les granules d’amidon sont rattachés de façon assez lâche dans l’endosperme et facilement libérés au moment de la mouture. Par contre, dans le cas des blés de force les granules d’amidon sont retenus beaucoup plus fermement au sein de la matrice protéique et sont ainsi davantage exposés aux dommages au moment de la réduction des fragments d’endosperme par la mouture. 2, record 5, French, - farine%20de%20bl%C3%A9%20de%20force

For CWRS [Canada Western Red Spring] and CWAD [Canada Western Amber Durum], there are specific limits for kernels damaged by grasshopper and armyworm, midge and sawfly; grasshoppers and armyworms chew out sections of kernels, particularly the ends and sides; at an early stage, armyworms may chew tunnels through the kernels; this destroys the endosperm, and leaves the exposed chewed areas susceptible to fungal and bacterial infections; heavy discolourations and moulds may result; the orange wheat blossom midge causes a distinct form of damage; grade tolerances for midge have existed for many years based primarily on the shrivelling and distortion of midge-damaged kernels; the tiny midge larvae feed directly on the developing kernels in the heads of wheat; the extent of damage largely depends on the number of larvae feeding on each kernel. Only recently have the full effects of midge damage on Canadian red spring bread wheat quality been studied, revealing the seriousness of midge damage to quality. The shrunken distorted grains reduce flour yields and produce dark flours with increased flour ash. Severely midge-damaged wheat exhibits weak, sticky dough properties, low baking absorption and poor bread quality. Protein content is abnormally high, but gluten protein quality is distinctly inferior. 2, record 6, English, - insect%20damage

Dans le cas du blé CWRS [roux de printemps de l'Ouest canadien] et du blé dur CWAD [ambré de l'Ouest canadien, on a fixé des tolérances visant les grains endommagés par la sauterelle et le légionnaire, et la cécidomyie et la tenthrède; les sauterelles et les légionnaires mangent certaines sections des grains, notamment les extrémités et les côtés; les légionnaires peuvent creuser des tunnels dans les jeunes grains; l'albumen en est détruit et les surfaces ainsi exposées risquent d’être atteintes d’infections fongiques et bactériennes; des mouchetures et moisissures importantes peuvent recouvrir la surface des grains; les dommages causés par la cécidomyie du blé sont d’une nature particulière; on a établi il y a longtemps déjà des tolérances pour les grades en ce qui a trait à l'aspect ratatiné et déformé des grains; les larves minuscules se nourrissent directement des grains en croissance sur les épis de blé; l'étendue des dommages est largement fonction du nombre de larves se nourrissant de chaque grain. On n’ a que très récemment étudié l'incidence totale des dommages dus à la cécidomyie du blé sur le blé panifiable de la classe roux de printemps. On a alors découvert la gravité de son incidence sur la qualité. Les grains échaudés et déformés donnent moins de farine et celle-ci est terne et a une teneur accrue en cendres. Le blé fortement endommagé par la cécidomyie du blé donne une pâte gluante d’une force insuffisante, affiche un faible pouvoir d’absorption à la cuisson et donne un pain de piètre qualité. La teneur en protéines est très élevée mais la qualité du gluten laisse nettement à désirer. 2, record 6, French, - dommages%20caus%C3%A9s%20par%20les%20insectes
