"Two years of heavy spring rains in Kansas, the largest producer of hard winter wheat, have sapped the protein levels of a crop that thrives in arid conditions." Bakers are using lower protein spring wheat with added gluten. Another factor is US consumption of wheat is dropping so farmers planted less wheat.
