Grading HRS and Durum! Go to ND and Check your Grades!

[SASKFARMER3]

As soon as I get this fricking useless crop in the bin I will be making our fall trip to ND. At that time I will be taking my HRS and Durum.
In Canada they say the HRS is a good three, why not a piss poor two. The durum is a 5 but they want my last years HM. FRUCK YOU!
And whats up with their protein machines. RAIN RAIN RAIN> yet 13.5 to 15.6 protein. HM
The last time the crop graded this bad it was only in NE Sask so the grain companies paid PS all and trucked the grain down to Weyburn then loaded cars and headed to USA.
It was the great grain robbery of 2004.
Simply the word this year isn't midge (I guess in our area it didn't pay to spray). It isn't Frost but the word is
( M I L D E W_) Learn it you will be hearing a lot about it.
So now that were in this tweezers grading system where they take 300 seeds and individually go with tweezers through the sample and pick out one fusarium in 300 oh that's bad.
FJURCKSSLKHURTALIYOU.
Farmers were getting screwed by these useless useless people.
WE LET IT HAPPEN and now we will pay.
I bet the US farmer wouldn't put up with this shit.
SO here is challenge take samples to ND see with your own eyes what it will grade. Falling numbers and high protein makes BREAD> Frost etc doesn't effect quality unless is shit like 2002.

Hey, if you had high levels of fusarium the cwb would bump your grade from a feed to a 2.

The truth is the Americans would buy all I had grown this year with the protein we have. SAD SAD SAD>
In Canada its feed every one the farmers are last.
In the USA its farmers first trickle down to the rest.
Love our system.

S3, if you could deliver south what would be your closest or perfered delivery point? And does this place sell crop inputs?

How's the old guy doing?

Does customs consider it smuggling for you to take wheat samples into the US.

If all the grain co.'s are grading my HRS wheat a Feed(with, by the way, over 15.0% protien) and the CGC is also grading it a Feed, does that not allow me then to sell my wheat where ever I want, including over the boarder to the south? And without buy backs? SF#, I might be happier to have my wheat a Feed, rather than a good #3? I've never been in this situation with such low quality wheat, am I correct on my thoughts about shipping south, What is the CWB/Gov't policy when you end up with everyone grading your wheat Feed?

[SASKFARMER3]

Checking it was a minor stroke but his right hand puffed up. He will be transfered to regina monday. Now with hrs if its feed then let's challenge them!!! They screw us so let's screw them. 15 protien isn't feed. Fert for feed wheat.

My wheat has been three different places so far, three different grades. Same sample ergot from .17% - .7%. Fun and games.

Just a couple things to watch when you are getting ergot assest.

Because ergot is of such a wide scope of size and density it is hard to devide down to get a consistant count in the representative sample. If your sample is more than say 1500 grams only divide it once using the borner divider. For those of you that don't know what that is It is that big still looking copper thing that should be in every grading room and should be used on every sample. If you have less than about 1500g's they should be picking whole working sample.

If you are getting different picks at different stations it has to do with the sample I would think. Surely your graders know what ergot is and can pick it out of sample. The dif would be in how they handle sample. Not picking big enough sample, not dividing it properly using divider or the sample has been altered some how.

They are pretty easy to pick out and throw away out of sample pail changing count between stations. I have caught myself unintentionally doing that. LOL

One other thing always make sure they are picking on the clean sample after it has gone through the dockage machine.
