Gpalab

Great Plains Analytical Laboratory (GPAL) — GPAL Crop Survey — Proprietary wheat quality measurement database built from GPAL's own annual field sampling program: physically collected grain samples spanning Soft Red Winter (AR, MO, IL, OH and neighbors), Hard Red Winter (Texas through Montana, including KS and NE) and Hard Red Spring (MN, ND), analyzed in-house for milling and end-use quality and delivered as both a 25+ year historical series and a real-time in-season harvest update. The licensable asset is the sample-level lab-result archive — geo-referenced, class-separated, variety-tagged …

Gpalab offers (Alternative, Reference, Supply Chain) — est. ~10^4-10^5 lab sample records per crop year (a Texas-to-Montana plus eastern SRW collecting program across three wheat classes run by a 31-person lab that also does commercial testing), each sample carrying roughly 10-25 measured parameters — so ~10^5-10^6 measurement points per year and on the order of 10^7 across the 25+ year archive. Structured numeric data: hundreds of MB, not petabytes, but irreplaceable in content..

Wheat basis and protein-premium forecasting for millers and traders; class-spread and origin-premium modeling between HRW / HRS / SRW; quality nowcasting during harvest for position-taking; procurement and contract-negotiation benchmarks for mills and export elevators; validation of crop and weather models against measured end-use quality (the scarce target variable — most crop models predict yield, not protein or milling quality); quality-loss peril modeling for crop insurance and agricultural catastrophe structures; long-run trend baselines for breeding-program placement decisions.

The data is with 25 years of history.
