High Fusarium Wheat

[Klause]

I think yall need to understand this... fusarium WILL MAKE YOU SICK. YOU CAN NOT EAT IT. END OF STORY. IF IT I'D IN FLOUR THE BREAD WILL MAKE YOU PUKE.


Don't try and sneak high fuzz in at the bottom of a load. It's not something to be played around d with just like ergot



Yes we get our grain looked at by the harvest program at cgc also.

Klause, if its directed at me my statement did say "little". Not referencing heavily infected. "Little" was not meant sarcastically.

[Klause]

No... I meant in general.


Guys here t
Are talking g already of putting some good on top and shipping high fuz under it.

[farmaholic]

That practice will bite you in the ass. Don't misrepresent your product. The mistrust I rant about can go both ways. Once caught expect the microscope everytime.

I ate about a gallon of my hi fuzz wheat last year and no problem. In my opinion and a lot of others klause is that it is over blown.

Combined 40 acres of wheat today..Grades #3 because of Fuzz...

[farmaholic]

Don't worry Partners, in afew months it will be a two. They won't pick it as hard....

I'll never forget that time I had some durum I wanted to get off the back of a truck(bins were full). I took a sample into the terminal and they "picked" it from a weighed sample. They weighed what they picked out and it came up a two, they "looked" it over some more and picked it harder until they had enough to make it a three. I would have never believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Needless to say they never got it. And people wonder why I may be a little cynical????

I think this grading will be a mystery for a while.

What % of fusarium is allowable for #1, #3, #3, Feed?

I would assume this will also vary between different grain companies (similar to protein deductions or green in canola).

[mbdog]

CGC grade determinants for HRSW...25% #1, .8% #2, 1.5% #3, 4% feed. Guidelines...but as mentioned it depends.
Also think overblown, and mainly/primarily a down grading instrument. If I got the fuz tho, I don't hide it from the buyers.

[mbdog]

that's point 25 (.25%) #1.

[Partners]

There is a 40 cent per bushel discount from #1 to#3...for now...depends on how much #3 there will be..I am sure they will not narrow the spread..So what to do? dump it now???

[wmoebis]

If you are down graded by your buyer, what do you do?

Accept/trust his assessment and take down grade?

Assess yourself so you can confirm/question?

Ask for binding CGC "subject to" pay the $50 and wait for results?
