    Time for the CGC grade determinate to include Falling Number?

    Since quality is hard or difficult to sell, or maybe it isn’t?

    Is it time to add the falling number into the grading system so it’s suppliers and customers both know what they are selling or buying?

    Breeding wheat with a variety name means little to nothing. The exporters and importers buy on specifications. So we doesn’t The Canadian system accept this and embrace this as a quality assurance factor to be included with the variety name?

    They are already making a killing off our hard work. Any potential gains in quality will just go to the "Industry" and not the farm gate.

      It would identify quality so farmers could be paid for it, every other country grades and pays on falling number.

      These should also be automatic, and auto printed onto our grain receipt as it is with scale weights. This would eliminate mistakes and reduce the work load for the receiving grain graders. It should be very useful for the grain marketing or sellers to make spec for grain sales.

      And while we are modernizing the system, grain dockage, protein and other quality or grain grade determined factors can also be auto printed.

      Friday happy hour here😀

            Why NO PAPER? Viterra and Pioneer Wadena have always issued delivery paper with every load.

              I used to get FNs on my own every year.
              Sometimes useful actually.
              I feel we need something like a CGC as a watchdog. But the current org should be burnt to the ground. Just my opinion.

                    They don't like you to look back on a ticket and see which one of them gave you a need for cooling your hemarhoid zone after.
