Screenings

How do you guys price your screenings? I sold for 60% current grain price, is this low/high/fair?

[Blaithin]

Seems low to me. Are they 40% dockage? Something wrong with them?

Any screenings we receive at the elevator are treated the same as non screenings samples. Clean it, grade it. They get 1Red 14.5 for it if it’s a 1Red 14.5.

If it’s not wheat polluted with ergot or some other issue, I would want to know the dockage amount and charge based on that. 10% dockage? ~90% cost. Etc.

Some screenings we see are only around 5% dockage. There’s samples from bins that come in dirtier and worse off!

Wait, ignore that post.

How far away from me are you, what screenings are they, and will my cows eat them? 😂

[TSIPP]

It all depends on how hungry the cows are.

Grain was cleaned for seed, screenings left over. Mostly smaller grains, some greenery, and some elk crap. Probably too cheap, not worth the hassle going back to the cleaning plant for partial loads.

Full price of the cleaned sample whatever it grades, dockage is dockage.

What did they charge per bushel for cleaning?

Always just mix back in with uncleaned grain or take straight to elevator. Dockage is rarely that bad.

Oat screens if I sell them I usually sell for what a tonne of feed oats are worth minus 10%. They’re the exception and it’s always a private sale as moving good oats around here is usually a private sale or a long ride to a fussy end user. Wheat and barley screens go from seed plant down the highway several miles to the elevator. Most times I feed oat screens cause I get more out of them feeding than selling.
