Feed wheat / falling number ???

[furrowtickler]

Why is falling number even relevant to feed wheat ? We did a number of potholes a while ago , obviously the wheat was froze and not even good for a 3 but they still said they had to send away for falling numbers .... WTF ????
If going to feed market, falling numbers should be completely irrelevant no ?

Maybe gluten intolerant hogs/cattle?

Went through that last year, even though it's "feed" its still getting milled for flour. Pretty much have to go through a broker to sell into a true feed market imo.

Yep same as the 2 row “feed” barley thats has to have good germ
And they will look right in the eyes while they are feeding you this line of shit

Not all wheat needs to make leven bread.

Maybe someone from the CGC or CIGI could chime in.

here is what the CGC will tell you....falling numbers are not a grading factor, so check your contract...

Who is supposed to monitor the contracts and the grading factors...the CGC....do they do it...nope...and they will admit as much....make a call..

The only “falling” my cows care about is when feed is falling outta the wagon into the bunks😎
All the pig guys ask for here is protein........... if you don’t know it they don’t care either.
No “intolerance” here.

I talked to reps from 3 different grain companies a couple days ago. Each had a different take on falling number required to make milling wheat. G3 said 275, P & H said 300 and RP said 250. FFS what is it? The CGC or whoever needs to make falling number an actual grading factor and not something guys can pull out of their ass.

Funny/odd,,, I was told this week at RP that the number was 290, 290 good, 289 not so good.

Is FNo.s even part of the CGC grading?
