Wheats (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) of five cultivars were harvested periodically from about 24 days preripe to ripe and evaluated for suitability of the dried grain for soft wheat products. In grain harvested as early as 13 days preripe, quality attributes were comparable to those that are characteristic of test cultivars present when harvested at full maturity. At that early stage of grain development, wheat moisture content was about 40 to 45%.
