    Grain Cleaning

    Their was lots of talk this past fall and winter about upgrading durum. Was there much investment in cleaning equipment to clean and upgrade durum(or any other crop) in your respective areas? Has their been any BoMills or optical sorters set up in local cleaning plants?

    Also what are the going rates for cleaning seed in other parts of the province?

              I would like to see some stats from our watchdog on the quality paid to producers verses the quality shipped to port and exported.

                  Ask Larry the watch/bull dog to look into it. In his newsletter he kinda did have the CGC's harvest grade distribution(how ever accurate that is) kinda compared to shipping reports. There were discrepancies...and with blending there likely always will be.

                      Crop insurance would have the best info.

                          Just guessing,
                          West coast durum exports look something like this:

                          Received as #1
                          85% shipped as #1
                          15% blended to boost #2

                          Received as #2
                          70% shipped as #2
                          30% blended to boost #3

                          Received as #3
                          100% shipped as #3

                          Received as #4 and #5
                          20% upgraded to #3
                          80% shipped by specification ("Other")

                          Received as "Other"
                          100% shipped by specification ("Other")

                              How much on-farm cleaning was done to upgrade durum and how did it work out for farmers? Barley for malt-was that pre-cleaned too?

                                  Since basis includes cost of handling and cleaning is there a change in basis if you clean to export standards?

                                      We cleaned our durum. It went from sample to #3

                                      Sample price was $3.40 bu
                                      #3 price $6.50





                                      When cleaned 75% was clean seed
                                      25% was screenings
                                      Now shopping the screenings around
                                      Most of screenings are $100 tonne
                                      can get $3.40 bu for about 25% of the better screenings
