Harvest management..

No advantage after the freight to get it there right now. US farmers have some rather crummy spring wheat prices going on too.
Might just pay if you could turn feed into a 1

best offers in Montana around $4.38 USD
Some areas in ND are sub 4 USD for 14%

#3 CWRS 13.0 - $4.66

Can you imagine if there's alot of low quality wheat harvested.

There will be , way too much second growth and wheat far too slow to mature

#3 CWRS 13.0 - $4.66

Can you imagine if there's alot of low quality wheat harvested.

So #3 cwrs is valued less than #1 CNHR. What is the value of either or both in the USA, is there a price difference there? I don't follow price markets anymore!

And there are no reports on Harvest quality or Export quality for the new CNHR class.

All CNHR that has made it to an export terminal has evidently been blended off. Nice payday after discounting it in the country.

Today's prices:
#1 CWRS 13.0 - $5.21
#1 CNHR 13.0 - $4.55

Lilian used to be a great variety to fight that issue. I wonder what the gluten strength of it is this year? Maybe would still be in the CWRS class if checked and was strong enough.

Can't use international standards for grading....and varieties with certain attributes have to be renamed first to get the seed tax...

Most at an elevator can't see varietal differences....

We are beginning to see an increase in sawfly damage on the edges of the field. If conditions continue favor their proliferation, we've seen whole quarters affected.

We would check for "frass" at the nodes of the wheat stems, if alot of stems were affected we would swath it before it broke over and went down badly. Even at that point the grain sample shrunken from being prematurely terminated by the sawfly infestation and stem feeding.

Straight cutting losses could be high if alot of it hit the ground.

Great idea Jazz. A cereal box with “No Gly” plastered on it. Next generation, take the torch! No kidding!

We think our food is going to suburban soccer moms, mostly its going to poor people and pigs and they dont care if its sprayed with glyphosate. I am dreaming of rich Italians eating pasta from my durum, when its probably pigs in china gonna get it. If something does get put on restricitng it you can bet it will be zero benefit to farmers and the consumers wont even know about it.

Can you imagine putting a sticker on cereal box saying now with reduced glyphosate. The SJWs would shit themselves and they would come for every chemical the next day.

If we did have someone create a premium type market then it would be like organic, we would have to be inspected and restricted. Do we want the govt coming on our land to verify we didn't spray glyphosate just to get 25c more a bushel? Probably not. I let a goon from the canola seed company inspect my fields one time. Never again.
