So instead of explaining the weather thing to customers we shitcan good varieties so some can sell better seed.

That's an offensive comment I know but tell me how newer varieties will outperform given the same weather in full scale field trials of a conventional farmer?

There was alot of shit going on in 2012 as well. Transition. I think there was a changing of the guard as to what customers were getting as opposed to the previous grain specifications.

It all factors in.

Bucket,

There is much more to this than weather.

When I hauled 1CWRS, 1CPS Red, 1CWES all in the same series of shipments, Bushel weight, protein, and falling number were the determing factors (minus cleaning deduct if over .9 percent dockage).

Our systems are very different, it was up to the US elevator and logistics managers to blend the right to the gluten strength and advise the flour mill being shipped the wheat.

I still think having north American standards for grading might be less of a headache.

Not sure why we are not using falling numbers in canada yet.

It would maybe lower the number of classifications of grain.

It seems we are making things more complicated in canada than it needs to be.

Oh I bet falling numbers are considered in Canada, just not when we deliver unless the grain shows signs of sprouting.
