    Can you elaborate on that? What is wrong with the spring thrashed wheat?
    Frosted and mildewed to oblivion. Some has sprouts, some looks like it’s got some swath heated going on. Everything I’ve seen has been a feed.

    On the plus side it’s dry as a popcorn fart.

      Spring threshed is always feed, took sample today will get a verdict tomorrow if it is sellable.

        Don't try to clean up the sample on spring thrashed wheat, the lighter the better with SCIC. Know what you want....

            Remember all that fusarium laden wheat that was only fit to be hauled to the bush? If you can sit on it....keep it.

              At the moment. I have some experience and the buyers are drooling hoping they can scoop up on the cheap. Spring of '17 to Aug price doubled. Lots gets burnt and there's never as much as anticipated initially. It pays to hold the crap. I had mostly 50-54lb. It will have a market eventually, gets blended out in new crop.

                Great, but you are screwed on your crop insurance audit, been there more than once.

                    Was supposed to be full if deadly mycotoxins, useless with no value.
                    I grew some very ugly durum, it all got bought.
                    Aren't you in Peace country? Maybe not too many options there?
                    Pig and poultry barns. Cattle feeders. Feedmill. Ethanol.

                    Is it worth more to burn it in the field for crop insurance than salvage it for use?
                    I sold some decent feed wheat too cheap early last fall, I thought the bottom was going to fall out of the feed market. It didn't happen, left about 75 cents/bu on the table.

                      If you wish to destroy a crop afsc will value it and that will be deducted from your claim.
