Abstract
Description
The 1968 North Dakota durum wheat crop was estimated by the USDA to be about 82 million bushels (2.4 million metric tons), the largest on record for production of this specialty crop. In an attempt to avoid some duplication which
existed last year, the general format was changed for the 1968 North Dakota wheat quality survey. These changes involved primarily the procedure imposed for the selection of samples. To determine the milling, spaghetti processing and other quality tests on 1968's crop, measured aliquots of each sample were composited by counties. The various factors affecting the overall quality of ths crop is presented for the reader.
