Falling numbers is a test of the soundness of the kernels. Used here on durum and HRS all the time. Mostly used as another way to screw the farmer, but college types use it to determine the quality of the wheat for flour making. Don't hear a lot about it unless the buyers can't find anything else to discount for.
