Winter Wheat Grading a total rip off CWB/CGC!!!

[Tom4Wildrose]

99 percent of the world would be VERY happy with this as what it is... #1 wheat. I mills nicer in many respects than CWRS in many baking applications.

Your selection of words in calling this beautiful wheat 'shitty' must come from a 'single desk' perspective... it would be hard to imagine any other reason for this arrogance and intimidation.

Have a nice day!

~God Bless Canada~!!!

Ha! Who did you deliver to? Who graded your wheat?

[Hopperbin]

Notaredneck it is the CWB that downgraded his wheat after delivery. Refusing to market it because of protein content. Putting it into like a feed grade. Delivery location is unimportant. His wheat has been stolen. He cannot get it back. What part of that do you not understand?

[notaredneck]

Ha that makes me laugh. What is the actual grade of his wheat? What did the cgc grade it as?

[furrowtickler]

not - are you serious?? 99% of the winter wht here in Western Canada was almost perfect. WTF are you talking about. This about getting shafted with high quality product from the CWB - end of story, you jack a$$.

Tom: who woke up and realized the grain never met specs for a #1CWRW grade? Can't the delivery point blend it up for you or is most of the winter wheat protein in the area too low. Interesting comparison--CWRS vs CWRW protein specs. What would make CWRW so special that it needs at least 11% protein to make a #1 or #2 verses no minimum for #2 CWRS. Would be nice to get an explanation from someone in the know.

Direct your concern to this group of people at this link:

Of interest: Keith Degenhardt from Hughenden Ab sits on this committee. He lives in your neck of the woods.

Hopper: something about this story stinks, hard to make a judgement not knowing all the details. If it is in a terminal silo with everyone else's that made the grade there is definitely an issue, if it is seperate he may be out of luck and have to take what the grading factors dictate(I don't make them, see above post!!). If his is blended in with everyone elses why wouldn't the terminal get behind him. Did the terminal buy it subject to grade and dockage?(Good luck getting a break from the CGC-tough inland grading-so when it gets to port/customer it always meets spec!!) If Tom was singled out there is an even bigger issue. Good luck Tom.

Yes it must be a conspiracy to get Tom.Thats why these kind of issues seem to only happen to him.I think he actually enjoys it because it is always the cwb's fault.

[notaredneck]

Hoppperbin take your tin foil hat off for a second. I have never heard of this happening before. Do you actually think the board singled out Tom and stole his grain???? Come on give your head a shake!!! Since when does the wheatboard grade your wheat? It sounds like the terminal or grain company he dealt with screwed him!!!!!

[wilagro]

Them thar grain companies are all Tom's friends doncha know. They wouldn't gyp him, nosireee. Its gotta be the CWB, yep it must be them. They're behind it all...a giant conspiracy.

[Hopperbin]

Notaredneck degrading his wheat after the wheat is long gone on account of the protien content is only can be done by the CWB. The CWB sets the price of 1,2 3 wheat. Number 1 has a new minimum protien content according to the CWB. There was nothing wrong with the delivery points grading. True we need to have more information and in my opinion his delivery point is likely going to suck up the difference, and likely the grain went as milling, on paper it did not. Perhaps the whole trail load is sitting somewhere wondering where to go. The CWB could be screwing farmers out of 100 or more cars of wheat here if they sell it as number 3 on account of protien. Tom can straighten me out if I am wrong. Other than that laughing and asking who graded it is true ignorance. The CWB is the biggest bully on the block.
