One of the nation’s largest wheat milling companies says the potential of a poor crop this year could impact the baking industry.
Marco Hernandez, technical director with Miller Milling, says lower production and poor quality will make wheat supplies and inventories tight. “Historically, good regions are really bad, that’s problem for us. We have to start getting ready and prepare for what type of wheat blends we’re going to do and what kind of conversations we’re going to have with bakeries.
