Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Herc]

Some of us are used to it, this is the 5th year like this now. So cheer up, you don't have it so bad.

Maybe when you are the new director of the wheat commission you can set the moisture to 17. Because as you say, all the directors have to do is ask for things like that and they get them, but they are too busy freeloading off your checkoff in Hawaii to make it happen.

What was considered dry for hrsw 50 years ago?

What was considered dry for hrsw 50 years ago?

14.5 or 14.8 i believe

14.5 or 14.8 i believe

It was 14.5 back in the early 70’s but I don’t know about the 50’s early 60’s.

Misty now or it’s me crying the ****ing rain won’t end.

They keep changing the moisture charts. I am told that a 14.5 years ago would test 15.5 or higher on today's charts.

Ya that’s interesting how moisture charts can change. Seem pretty straightforward that the same machine and the same grain variety would be consistent moisture measurement.

Perhaps someone could explain.

Canola was 10.5 and all barley was 14.8%...

The “dry” numbers mean nothing
What you need is a chart from 50 years ago
Theres where they changed itb
They have canary specs so dry it is just about unattainable in the field, and every buyer is different
This canary chart is ****ed
Used to use the flax chart with 225 grams now it is 250 , guess what that does to the moisture

You miss my points ...sometimes specs have to change in order to make everyone a little money...

You ever hear about how the grain gets bought on the prairies for a 3 but magically all gets exported as a 1....

Someone has changed the specs within a railcar on a one week trip from the prairies to the coast and yet no one monitors that either...

Maybe, and this is a known fact, a 1crws north of Edmonton is not the same as a 1cwrs south of the number 1 highway...

My brother brought some grain from a friend's farm outside of Edmonton and had it graded down here....1cwrs north of Edmonton didn't make a 3cwrs down here.....


Just saying....things can and should change....to meet the circumstances....

How much dry grain is on the west coast to blend?????

I am not running for the Sask wheat commission....was busy with other things when they nominate people...typical of all the farm groups .....do shit like that in the middle of harvest ....never in the winter when guys have more time to think about it....

It's because of these horrible board members that wheat isn't 12.5 - which is what it should be for truly international markets.

Well stop thinking about it and go make some change. It will change your life, you'll never see Agriculture the same again.
