Ergot programs

[wd9]

Lots of ergot in the wheat here, some of mine is 0.1% but the wheat is CWRS 1. Local viterra is offering $25 off number 1 price and is going off to color sorter in sakatoon.

Are there any other programs out there anyone is aware of?

Ask the cwb, its their grain. Good luck with that. If you had fusarium and your kid worked at the cwb the problem would be solved already.

Durum is going over a gravity table. #5 to #3 with
about 10% loss.

Does anyone buy ergot for fuel pelloting or some
similar purpose?

WD9,

We got word yesterday ATL is installing a sorter in Edmonton. 5/t under your quote... Jan/12 it is supposed to be up running.

This new technology will really change the way grades are done!

Not sure where you are but check with WIT in Weyburn. They have a program.

Its not a CWB problem. Its a matter of if your local elevator has cleaners that will take it out.

[wd9]

Not a cleaning program, they take the wheat, take off dockage, $25, and i never see any of it again.

Viterra in MJ has some sort of a $15.00T On Durum run it over a colour sorter.
Freight is approx $5.00T better than Davidson

Grade is going from a 5 to 2

Bonus you get to watch the snowbirds practice

double bonus it's in Saskatchewan

Most of you know that you have been paying for cleaning, when in most years its not required for the international contracts. Ergot is a cleanable problem. The cwb should be standing up for farmers on the ergot problem just like the fusarium program. If it is cleaned out its considered dockage. 15 bucks a tonne for .03 dockage seems a little high, no???

The trouble is that the screenings you are left with are virtually worthless.
