    Agstar lets presume what if for wheat.As of today there is a decclaratory paper work/trail inplace for delivering wheat to a country elevator in western canada.Its been well advertised that you BETTER not misrepsent the grain you are delivering. If someone choices to misrepresent or falsify sample and elevator cannot detect,I personally feel that,that farm operation has greatly increased their farm liability.
    The difference with Triffed is, and I may be wrong here is that, was it widly known that who ever was growing the stuff and selling to the market-place should not be doing so? Iam not even aware that triffed was being grown let-alone making its way to market place! SO when producers are asking questions and demanding answers don't ya think someone or group should be stepping forward.

      Right tipsy. But if a grower is declaring he has conventional wheat but in fact is growing and selling rrwheat, how does the trail of declaration find him and his illegal activities?

      The bigger issue then becomes how does the system cleanse itself of this problem. Judging by the flax problem - it can't. Unless farmers pay a fee to clean it up. But paying 105 bucks won't clean the system - its just a feel good thing the wallet sucker checkoffs have invented.

        Ever load of Triffid contaminated flax shipped by rail to port has been ID'd to the source facility via it's Lot #. The contaminated port facilities are identified. The railroad is identified. The area is identified.

        From what I have been discreetly whispered, by many lips, and some of them glazed with perpetual truth, every duckshit in charge knows who and where and when and how much.

        But they won't tell Farmer Joe Or Buyer Wong.

        Maybe a good question to ask is, "Why?"

          Bucket if I was a facility manager and I was dealing with a new customer or one that I was suspicious of tinkering with off/unregistered varieties we better be keeping a sample for future reference.IF detected the parties invloved can resolve the matter.

            New customer? Twenty year old Little Sammy Farmer isn't the problem is he?

            What about the established establishnment customers? I thought seed growers were committed to the principal of non-mixing, non-dumping, and compliance.

              bucket, a cleanse is necessary.

              But smart ordinary everyday farmers will do it.

              I watched the purebred cattle business, and watched the movers and shakers run it into the ground.

              The breeders searched for St bernard sized bulls.

              Commercial men couldn't make money on them.

              La de da: Charolais 101

              And a new era of accountable smart cards with names and faces began. Pars

                  From what I have been told, no. and will not be. You are not important enough to be given the information.

                    jamesb,

                    In the 70's "dwarf" bulls were being born all over, too. They were quite ridiculous. And vets often came across "Holy smokes, you can't believe what I saw"

                    Unreported dwarfs were quietly buried.

                    Will ureported flax be quietly mixed with jamesb's tested flax in order to meet tolerances, whislt continuing to contaminate?
