    Lots of tiny shrunken ones in the durum, also a bit of midge damage

    If more of the world population was "really" hungry there wouldn't be stupid ****ing reasons to down grade grain.

    Perfect grain is wanted from an almost always imperfect environment its produced in.

    I looked at the pic with a 10X magnifier and I seen fusarium in the creases!!!!

      We haven't got to any of ours yet, but a buyer in southern Alberta told me most of their samples are grading #5, due to low bushel weight

            It's best this way without anyone watching or any rules. This way no one gets in trouble. We just accept what they want to give. There is no controversy this way.
            Hahahahaha!!!! Right on. Outstanding. Except the people
            Who don't want any rules are always complaining why is that???

                Not a thing wrong with a sample of durum with color like that! I bought grain for SWP for 12 years, that is a #1 ad!

                  Just think of how many bushels of shit durum they bought and filled vancouver with that can now be blended of with that beautiful sample.....

                  The reason Vancouver has 50 percent space is for opportunities like this.

                    How many guys kept wheat over from last year and hoping to blend it this year for better grades?

                    That answer is a lot.

                    Everyone does it.
