Oh dear sprouted grain not even on wheat yet...

How does falling number affect price? How about color and other factors?

Our falling number standard is about 350(isn't it?) So 188 is pretty grim.
Makes ourLOW Px wheat at 13.0-13.5 worth even more!

Look at how they grade its a F1 with 11.7 protein.

So is that a feed #1 or just a grade 1.

Barley?

A google search says Barley.

Just trying to understand how countries that don't have the same grading system as us adjust price for factors that affect quality.

In Canada to have a FN that low it would have to be sprouted and severly sprouted and would be graded and priced according.

Very interesting to see the load inspection specs.

I thinks thatâ€™s what Mallee is showing us, the low falling number (internal enzyme change) doesnâ€™t always have to have a 1 inch sprout on it

The issue here has always been it takes too long and itâ€™s costly for falling number testing.

How long does it take from unload to receive the load results?
They are testing for roundup(glyphosate), is it test strips under what ppm? what happens if they dump it on top of other non-glyphosate grain?

One more.

Is the grading all done by machine, with a digital numerical number printed, no human â€œinterpretationâ€hand written or data entering with key boards?

I here many receiving terminals ask the employees to â€œadd inâ€ dockage, miscalibrate protein etc. This it theft, fraud, etc
