Wheat grading

Yup there is some heat stress
Absolutely guaranteed no frost on the stuff they graded with frost
Sorry , can’t be frost if it’s been in the bin for 2 weeks before any frost was remotely in area , that i. Know for a fact .

Did you see any heat stress or frost damage in the sample?

Same with LGL samples. One place, all #2, another had some #1, x2 and #2's, while pulse plant 3 was almost all x3-#3's. At $0.07/lb spread between a #2 and #3, it's pretty clear on who got the business and who didn't.


ALWAYS do your due diligence and shop around. It's dangerous to get married to one place.

What was the degrading factors? Did they all handle samples in the proper manor? If one is getting high degrading factor someone isn't doing it right. You have to watch to see what they do. Just like a teller counting your change or counting your cash.

Kind of ironic that no one talking about falling numbers… the most important factor in wheat quality … along with protein and bushel weight.

Functional attributes are most important to flour millers and bakers when formulating wheat grist blends for best end use quality and performance.

Mills aren’t terribly fond of frosted wheat with bran issues.

True, that’s why P&H , who sends a lot of wheat to its mills east , offered a slight premium , for all of it , cause there is no frost in it , even remotely.
Will hopefully see if any better offers come around from the other two locations today .
Not sure if holding good wheat this winter will pay or not , or take a decent offer now and replace with paper in case of a winter rally ?

p&h is by far the hardest graders in our area... a thought shared by many as it shows with hardly any traffic rolling or business at its pits.

They can be yup.
That’s what’s interesting here . It’s good wheat and they know it .
The other elevator needs a refresher at a grading course .

I have Viterra calling my durum a 3 and a 4. Cargill is buying it all for a 2.

The two look almost identical. Have seen it called 'environmental stress' in the past to encompass that it could be either. That could be the disconnect furrow.

Let’s call it the all all encompassing “climate change stress” instead
