The protein percentage of delivered wheat, measured on a 12% moisture basis, plotted across the grade bands. Protein — together with test weight and screenings — decides which grade a load receives and therefore the price it earns.
Australian milling grades hinge on protein — ASW/APW typically require a minimum around 10.5%, and hard grades (H2/AH) around 13%, with premiums and discounts of tens of dollars a tonne between bands.
Grain Trade Australia ↗Protein sits in constant tension with yield: chase big yields and protein dilutes, chase protein and you can leave yield behind. Watching the spread of loads against the band edges shows how many tonnes fell just short of a premium and could be recovered with better-timed nitrogen.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Time a late nitrogen application to lift grain protein into the premium band.
Segregate and blend loads on farm to optimise the grade of each parcel.
Match variety protein potential to the target market and paddock nitrogen.
