Quality
In accordance with commercial acceptance protocol for assessment of potential milling varieties, Williams was commercially grown in Western Australia and was test milled at Quaker Oats Forrestfield facility. Tests undertaken by Quaker Oats showed that Williams milled very well with qualities that will be appreciated by both Australian and overseas millers.
Williams is a milling variety with hectolitre weight similar to Kojonup and slightly lower than Carrolup. Screenings are similar to Carrolup and its groat percent is slightly lower than Carrolup and Mitika.
