	Record Global Durum Production in 2004/05
		Durum acreage in the EU is up, despite the fact that the EU already started phasing out payments to farmers for durum grown in the traditional durum growing areas for over a three-year period.
		Historically, durum represents a small portion of national wheat totals; however, recent government initiatives to increase durum’s share of planted area appears to be accruing dividends, thanks to the sowing of newer varieties that are hardy enough to withstand less-than-ideal conditions.
		Durum is mostly grown in the Tandil delegation of the southern Buenos Aires

	Global Durum Wheat 2005-2006
		Durum wheat comprises roughly 70 percent of Algeria's wheat crop.
		Durum is grown under rainfed conditions, with the exception of durum grown in Gujarat, which is irrigated.
		Roughly 70 percent of Russia's durum wheat is produced in the southern Volga Valley (specifically Orenburg oblast and eastern Saratov oblast), with the remainder grown in Western Siberia (Altai Krai).

	Durum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Durum wheat or Macaroni wheat (Triticum durum) is the only tetraploid species of wheat widely cultivated today.
		Most of the durum grown today is amber durum, the grains of which are amber-colored and larger than those of other types of wheat.
		Most durum wheat is grown in Mediterranean countries, the former Soviet Union, North America, and Argentina.

	Utilizing hard red spring wheat, durum, winter wheat and rye
		Spring wheat and durum are particularly adapted to the relatively cool and dry North Dakota climate.
		Durum wheat makes up a higher proportion of acres in the northern half of North Dakota, with a smaller portion in the rest of the state.
		Green manure use in North Dakota is limited by reluctance to leave land idle, by fear that excessive water will be taken from the soil during green manure growth and decomposition, and because the timing of N release by the green manure is less predictable than N availability from an application of commercial N fertilizer.

	Winter Durum Wheat: Do We Have All the Answers?
		Durum wheat cultivars traditionally grown in the U.S. are spring types, planted in April and May in the upper Midwest, but in the desert Southwest durum is usually planted in December and January.
		Durum wheat has the hardest kernel of all wheats and is used to make semolina, which is used to make macaroni, spaghetti, and other pasta products.
		Winter durum wheat yield was higher for the 1996 growing season at Orange location, and lower at the Blacksburg and Shenandoah locations compared with the 1994 growing season.

		Depending on original data sources used, the definition of “durum flour and semolina made in flour mills” is established.
		It is for this definition of durum flour and semolina made in flour mills that the aggregate latent demand estimates are derived.
		Based on the aggregate view of durum flour and semolina made in flour mills as defined above, data were then collected for as many similar countries as possible for that same definition, at the same level of the value chain.

	NDSU Ag Economist: Producers Need to Check Details of CRC for Durum
		But even with these incentives, a substantial acreage shift from spring wheat to durum in the Red River Valley is unlikely because spring wheat is selling at a premium to durum for the first time in several years and because of the difficulty of growing quality durum, Swenson says.
		At local cash prices of $2.80 and $3.10, respectively, for durum and spring wheat and with both crops insured at 85 percent CRC levels, spring wheat shows greater returns than durum if yields are average or better.
		Durum at the 65-percent CRC level and wheat at the 85-percent level have quite similar returns.

	Low Protein Durum (ACIS)
		Low protein in durum is primarily related to low nitrogen availability, but is often associated with other factors such as yield, irrigation, soil texture, previous crop, variety, and weather.
		However, most durum varieties grown in Arizona are capable of attaining 13% protein if nitrogen availability is sufficiently high.
		Low protein content in durum can be avoided in most cases by being aware of the factors that influence protein content.

		The development of a high value durum industry across Australia is drawing closer as a major research effort tackles disease and environmental obstacles.
		Before growers can claim their prize of a potential two million tonnes a year export industry penetrating one of the highest value grain markets, researchers must first find answers to the crown rot and fl point diseases, as well as the limitations of acidic and saline soils and water scarcity generally.
		The limit on fl point contamination in durum before it is downgraded is tougher than for bread wheat, being three percent compared to five percent.

		Once the durum has been delivered to an elevator, the grade on the delivered durum should be checked again with FSA before making a final determination on whether to forfeit or sell at the elevator bid.
		Since the durum has been actually delivered, all bids at this time are binding.
