Vomitoxin/Don....

[farming101]

If infected kernels are not conspicuous then I guess you have a problem cause fusarium levels in field 2 are way too high to catch a #3. You didn't say but I'm thinking there are few if any distinctly white kernels. If you assess that there are enough white kernels that might clean out and give you a #3 it might still be worth it. Does the grain cleaner guy charge by the hour or bushel? Throughput should be decent.

Field one might go on its own without cleaning?

Stinks that 3 prices are where they are.
Are elevators routinely doing vomitoxin tests on suspect samples?

101... I agree with your assessment on field two. But if I clean it and the magic vomi test comes back too high, I'm hooped!

Frustrating.

No kidding..

Back to your first post, if fusarium is the only downgrading factor then cutoff levels have got to be relaxed. Too much good wheat going by the boards

Great margins to be made at export terminal, blend it away at no cost.

.5% fus for a 1 or 2 CWAD may as well be set at zero...........same as .25% for a 1 CWRS!

Yep its crap if they weren't screwin us there they would be hammering us on hvk. Big crops more gauging, little crops less gauging. Fricken robots building cars but we have a humans picking samples. They have no motivation to replace that capital labour. CGC had been infiltrated by corporate interests drain the swamp.

Something like a Grain Farmers Advocacy Office? That was suggested in the 2004 Compas review of CGC.

....only twelve years ago. And probably needed now more than then.

You guys.....you can't tell private companies what to do ....or ask them anything either.....just statscan can interrogate farmers.
