                   About Hard Red Spring Wheat Survey Data
 
 These files contain data collected as part of the annual survey of
 hard red spring (HRS) wheat conducted by the Cereal Science Department
 at North Dakota State University.  This survey is undertaken to
 ascertain and provide quality estimates of HRS wheat grown in the
 northern Great Plains of the U.S.  Data for the respective 22 crop
 reporting districts (CRD'S) are simple averages of assay results for
 samples collected within that district. State averages are adjusted,
 based on the past 3-year production within the respective state. 
 Regional averages are also adjusted, based on the previous 3-year HRS
 production throughout the entire region.
 
 A total of 1282 HRS wheat samples were obtained from growers or local
 elevators during the time period between July 26 and September 26,
 1994.  These samples reflected the condition of the grain at their
 point of origin and not necessarily the quality available in
 commercial markets.  Individual samples are blended to form composites
 which represent the respective crop reporting districts.
 
 Financial support for this survey is provided by the Minnesota Wheat
 Research and Promotion Council, the Montana Wheat and Barley
 Committee, the North Dakota Wheat Commission, the South Dakota Wheat
 Commission, U.S. Wheat Associates.  
 
 These data are replications of data presented in the published report
 and may be used freely.  We ask for credit for the information if it
 is further duplicated and distributed.
