Counting heads


Ben Handcock, executive vice-president of the Wheat Quality Council, counts heads and kernals of hard red spring wheat in a field west of Thompson, N.D., on the final day of the hard spring and durum wheat quality tour Thursday. Harry Karube, OMIC, an agricultural processing company in Portland, Casey Chumrau, U.S. Wheat Associates in Washington, D.C., and Ron Hobbs, ADM Milling in Overland Park, Kan., measure crop, as well, to determine potential yield.
