    Changes to the Grain Grading Guide

    I see a couple changes to wheat standards coming in regards to Test Weight and Foreign Material that farmers should be aware of.
    Primary standards will align with Export standards.

    can we translate this to say 2% dockage/ FM will be acceptable standard across the board?

        Dockage and FM are 2 different things. Dockage is what is removed and FM is what is left in after cleaning.

              Has anyone really paid much attention to what their test weight is? Also doesnt it matter more on the $/bushel vs just having a #1 or #2 grade on the ticket?

                All depends on the year on what the spreads are on grades, protein and other factors an d what ever yields more for the grain companies. We are just price takers and have no really control over the spreads.

                  When are grains and oil seeds going to be bought and sold based on dry matter content, so no one has to look over their right shoulder?

                  Silage example!
