good question on the 20 vs. the 40 ft container. Also if I ordered 8 to 10 containers at 40 could I keep the containers and sell or use on farm.

Mills rarely mill #1 or #2 most wheat I've seen going into mills is #3 or lower and I've seen ALOT of it. They are mostly interested in prot content and that is stays within milling specs for FN, fuz etc. that are all built into our grading standards in all milling grades.
There is more products made out of wheat blends that would only make feed grade by our primary standards than #1 or #2.

Good for you klause, just becarefull, one bad deal and all your profits are gone. Why isnt FNA brokering fertilizer containers from china to the prairies, charge us farmers a flat per tonne brokerage fee, and we pick up the container in calgary, regina, winnipeg, etc? Probably cheaper than building a new plant in SK. Selling wheat in a container more complex, given grading, risk of rejection on customer side.

MBgrower given the amount of cars I've herd of, (80/100) being off grade when they hit the ports when loaded by grain Co's I wonder if farmers couldn't do better. Plus producer can get official grade in bags, but not at elevator, only submitted.
Also maybe China (etc) isn't as particular as we are led to think. Look at the grain going into the domestic mills.

Not sure but maybe you could negotiate a non cleaned price. They could do it for cheap less hassle for you they could use the by product probably a wash on making money with weights but maybe with mini bulks they wouldn't want that. But out the bin into a mini bulk would sure save pissin around.

Not all grain is exported commercially clean, Even tho we clean it they sometimes add dockage back in before shipping.
Think ov the deer shit fiasco. That was cleaned then added back into shipment.
Oh and lots of grain is shipped directly into domestic mills before cleaning even tho we pay for it to be cleaned.
