Does gluten % affect price? Is it tested at time of delivery on every load?

**farmaholic** · Dec 18, 2017, 14:19

Protein isn't super high.

Do you get much blending deals happen down in Australia? Would they paper blend all your loads with these for no or a reduced discount?

US system is very load by load with limited blending if any. Canadian system is a lot more focused on what the total end product is and very open to blended deals.
