Triffid Bites a Hunk out of Pocketbooks

Flax sample can be sent expedited, and it will come back in a few working days. Maybe not with the company you used. Also, if the test is negative, the reults can be forwarded directly to the buyer, so there is no wait.

I agree that fast testing is exoensive, and the testing expense is a result of someone else's downloading.

My point oneoff, was that crushers could crush Triffid grain?

Or SWP terminal at port could perhaps have made a deal with EU buyers to take the flax for industrial purposes? Or it could have to be diluted to certain tolerances if both seller/buyer agreed?

There is no point in banishing Triffid because it is GM, as it is only going to be replaced by another GM.

What would you propose for another crop like Buckwheat? What have we learned from this exercise, oneoff?

You said "Apparently I still haven't gotten my point across that you can't lower the Triffid contamination level below the current sensitivity level of the test being used. That is why stupid statements about flushing Triffid contamination from the flax supply is utter nonsense."

That is why benchmarking becomes important. If you can prove that the number of positive tests have gone down or the level is less you can say the stuff is out of the system. But the flax council nor the industry started benchmarking because they thought they had rid the system of triffid 10 years ago.

But yes what is even funnier is they actually use a coffee grinder to grind the test. I have been to quantum lab.

Parsley, its funny because they could end up contaminating 100's of sample after a positive test shows up.

Did you question their procedures?

Oneoff, i agree with you and your point i believe is valid. Once 0.01% is achieved, 0.0001% will be required. Then 1 ppb then 1 ppt, then the excuse could be we suspect it may be there based on your export history.

This is a marketing problem, a big one.
