Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starches into sugars and if sufficient lev- els are reached, it is an in- dication that the grain had initiated the germination process. If germination commenced, the stirrer would fall faster through the paste because sugar does not offer the same re- sistance as starch. There- fore, a higher falling num- ber (thus a slower descent) signifies higher quality. While starch converting to sugar may not sound detrimental, it certainly im- pacts how the grain can be used. For an oversimplified example, if the flour is in- tended for baking has had too much amylase activity, it would not rise appropri- ately. This is due to the fact that starch level is directly linked to the ability to rise. As an agronomic crop, wheat is fairly unique in that a high percentage is di- rectly used for human con- sumption. Due to this, grain quality is more important to 785-410-4070 wheat than our other field crops. Hopefully, harvest is timely and safe for produc- ers and results in high qual- ity wheat.
