    Vomi Test most Grain Company Employees laugh at how useless it is.

    The one thing going on lots this year is Vomi and a test.

    It is really a big joke as talking to a lab assistant this weekend. They say you get the grain do the grinding etc from a batch then do the test and it comes out at 2.2. If you take the same material you just worked on and do two more it could be 3 and 1.7.

    Really its a test but most companies go by the results.

    Simply its a unreliable bull shit test.

    Had a deal on low Vomi barley to a feed barn in Manitoba deal was we were moving grain from same two half sections put in 10000 bushel bins. First two semi loads were what was in each bin. They put that part in the deal.

    We loaded last week two loads on tues and then two on Wed. Well the first two passed the smell test no problem.

    Funny Easter and Lazy employees or Grain buyer now wants out as our price is 3.25 picked up vs 2.71 now.

    We were laughing if barley was 4.25 their would of been no problems with Wednesdays loads.

    But also its funny when asked for the vomi tests sheets they were destroyed or gone.

    Yea its fun to be a farmer.

    Loads were dumped as contract states but watch when bin two is started the Company will discount or reject. and thats the bin that had the lowest vomi of all our bins. ( Cargill truck mount tester unit for malt).

    So the games continue any one else find this all bull shit.

        Its a F#$King game.

        Three years ago I had two loads get checked by a Canadian grain company send Barley to a malt company in USA thats got the same name as Canadian company and have it only to be rejected their but the loads on that monday morning after long weekend in May could get dumped at local feed lot.

        THE BARLEY CAME BACK HOME TO THE YARD AND THE GRAIN COMPANY PAID THE FREIGHT.

        WE STILL LAUGH ABOUT HOW IT HAD A TRIP TO SOUTH DAKOTA AND CAME HOME.

            It's a complete ****ing joke. You would need to split the whole load using a Boerner divider to the size you are going to use to test for it. THEN one severely infected kernel in that little bit of grain that is ground can skew the whole load!

            Scam of the day.

                    It really makes no sense growing barley anymore to be honest. The fuzz game is here to stay and the vultures at other end just make it even more of a bad experience..
                    Truthfully that's why I set up the humic and defender meeting cause I am sick of the end game where the buyer discounts product.. Pretty soon we be paying them to take our grain..

                    We really got no other choice but to try things to get disease in check.. We almost need clean samples so the Vomi police don't steal our grain.. Really actually shocked how so few realize what is going on in our fields...
